Have a Rio Grande Southern Scale model of bridge 22A, to any one who could use it. it 17’ long almost 3’ high. You must supple the labor and the transport to remove it, It needs some work to restore it.

You can go to YouTube and type in South Jersey Division and get a good look to what it look like.
Ken,
it would be a good idea to tell us where you are located. knowing where it is will help folks make a informed decision.

Possibly the trestle in this video?
From Bob’s photo, it looks more like 17 feet, right?
You think RGS South Jersey Division might be a clue?
Here’s another interesting video, with JGG [the prototype RYM Mikado, in the wrong shade of green, which we called the Jolly Green Giant.] The RYM Mikados had just arrived.
I attended a couple of meets at Ken’s place and I don’t recall any bridge other than the long trestle.
Hi Ken, nice to hear from you.
I assume you were referring to the long trestle, which is 17 ft long?
Sorry I did not put that down, I live in South Jersey , my zip is 08094
The Bridge has been taken, it has a new home
That’s too bad:-(
Probably going to a good, loving home.
Bridge 22A in 2015. Builder’s name is not at the tip of my tongue.https://photos.app.goo.gl/SP4iAuCT2RkAVJRz6
My picture is a bridge built by George Konrad when he lived in NH. Is this bridge 9A instead?
Quick search: 22A - 22-A, 23 panels, 368’ by 58’ high open deck trestle, 2.12% grade
9A - Bridge 9-A (org), 837’ long, 140’ high (incl 202’ Howe truss) (pic)
Fill w/4 sq ft culvert (build 1903, destroyed by flood 8-2-1908) (pic)
9-A (second), 182’ long, 72’ high (Pleasant Valley Creek)
202’ in 1:20.3 = 119… inches
If by ‘this’ you mean Ken’s bridge, then he probably meant 9A:
Then there’s this image from Friends of the C&T;
RGS #20 with RMRRC excursion crossing Bridge 22-A above the Green Mountain Ranch at Leonard. Consist for this trip was caboose #0403, coaches #320 and #306 and gondola #1754.
So just call me “Confused”.

Almost certainly. It’s in Delaware stored for the winter.
Your first pic is 45A after it was converted from having a Howe Truss in the middle circa 1917. Clue to this 45A bridge is the whitish timbers over the stream, and above them on the trestle-both these timbers are larger than the other horizontal timbers on either side. RGS Volume 3 has at least 2 pics of the Howe with the “new” trestle being constructed, here I want to use the word interstitial, as both the Howe and the trestle are in the pictures at the same time.
