In winter 1975, strong winds broke a barge loose and knocked down a section of the New Westminster Bridge (replacement was hump-shaped), recall seeing from Patullo when travelling to school.

in the late 70s the train bridge operator norm robertson almost died. there was a fire by the control house and at the time on the centre swing span. norm almost jumped into the fraser river, he was really terrified. thankfully he was rescued. the control house burnt down n is now on the new west side shore
