The bridge is owned by the Government of Canada, operated and maintained by the Canadian National Railway, with the Southern Railway of British Columbia (SRY), Canadian Pacific Railway, and BNSF Railway having track usage rights,[2] as do Amtrak's Cascades (with service to Portland and Seattle) and Via Rail's The Canadian (with service to Toronto). HistoryThe New Westminster Bridge was constructed in 1904 and was originally built with two decks. The lower deck was used for rail traffic while the upper deck was used for automobile traffic. Crossing the river prior to the construction of the New Westminster Bridge required using the K de K ferry[3] which would dock at the present day neighbourhood of South Westminster (formerly the historic community of Brownsville) located in the city of Surrey. The toll for the upper bridge was 25 cents{{Citation needed|date=November 2017}} and created quite an uproar for farmers who found out quickly that by taking their livestock across on foot would cost them a quarter a head but if they put them in a truck it cost a quarter for the whole load. The bridge was the preferred method of transport across the Fraser until the opening of the Pattullo Bridge in 1937. The upper deck was removed and the bridge was converted exclusively for rail use. Around 1979-80 There was a significant fire on the New Westminster Bridge, aka The Train Bridge. Photos of the fire are inserted. See also
