Isn't that a plate girder section in the center?

Funny but I don't remember this trestle even though I spent a year there flight training at the RCAF base there, but then my interests were airplanes first and girls second in those days.
 
that entire picture (the top one) would make a great scene on a layout. hmm..........naw, i'm shooting bigger.

More like a bay bridge, eastern span type, looking at a corner of my area, and thinking of capalizing it as a brideg over water area, instead of detailing it. This in effect gives me the ability to place a 4' long bridge across the gap.

Something similar to this:

Just the canilevered section left side of mimage to the first truss grider section.

This bridge is a double decked 6 lane highway on top, and the bottom was a 3 lane highway and 2 lane rail. it was later expanded to a full 8 lanes on top and 6 lanes on bottom with 2 rail. But this may be to much, so i might just do a 2 lane rail and 4 lane road on one deck but in same style.

Original cross section:

the bottom is the tunnel on the island that connects the east and west spans.
