Well we finally had two days of sunshine on Saturday and Sunday. My wife and I walked the back yard deciding where she could start moving plants onto the railroad, so I had to mark where the upper loop will be going. I decided to rebuild this 3’ trestle that I made over 20 years ago. It spent the first 12 years on our clubs modular layout. After a quick review of parts, I removed the center bent and the cross supports so I could add a 12" girder bridge to the center of the trestle. I then repostioned the tall bents next to the girder section and added the short support bents for the girder. A piece of 2x2 redwood was added to the bottom of the bents for support in the dirt. The clearence is about 9-1/2" which should be ok. This is how it looks.
This will now be one of the first bridges for the upper line to cross over the lower line. As soon as I get it installed I put more pictures up. Chuck
