The original steel bridge crossed two branches of the Miramichi River at Derby Junction near Newcastle. The bridge had 12 spans with 6 on each side of the two branches of the river. With the increasing weight of trains, there was a demand for a stronger bridge. The original railway bridge was dismantled and shipped to Charlottetown P.E.I., which needed a bridge to cross the Hillsborough River. Beginning in September 1904, the spans were reassembled and placed on abutments. One of the spans was replaced with a custom swing span. It lasted in its new location until 1963. Miramichi, New Brunswick.
