Acrow Panel Bridges
Acrow Panel Bridges are easily adapted to accept and carry railroad traffic. The same ease of construction and modular principles of the vehicular Acrow Panel Bridge are utilized to create a railroad bridge capable of carrying AREMA Cooper E80 loads, which is a train with a locomotive weight of 520 metric tonnes and axle loads equal to 37 metric tonnes.

Bridge Builder - The unofficial homepage
The concept of Bridge Builder is simple and brilliant at the same time. Your task is to build a bridge which has to support a passing train and stay undamaged. Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to stay undamaged, the train just has to pass to the other side safely... Each bridge element is $100 and your budget is limited. The process is simulated using a fairly realistic physics engine and rendered in real time.

Bridges - Building RGS Bridge 42
This is a "how-to" article for building a highly detailed model of one of the most famous high line bridges on the Rio Grande Southern railroad. A section on jigs and molds gives valuable information for making and using these handy tools that simplify model bridge building. The article contains very detailed step-by-step instructions for preparing plans, fabricating the various sub-assemblies, and assembling the completed trestle. Some of the drawings contained in the article are drawn to scale and can be used as templates for making various components. The tips and techniques clearly explained in this article will provide the modeler with valuable information for building this and other RGS trestles.

Canton Viaduct
The Canton Viaduct was built in 1835 and is one of the two oldest surviving multiple arch stone railroad bridges still in active mainline use in the United States. The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1999.

Channel Tunnel Rail Link Photographic Project
In 1989, when the announcement to build a high speed railway from London to the Channel Tunnel at Cheriton was made I decided to photograph the construction of just the Medway Crossing. This was to be a viaduct, about 2 miles (3.2km) long, carrying the line over the river Medway in Kent between Burham Church and the village of Holborough. Later the railway was realigned, close to the M2 motorway.
