Canadian Railroads > BridgesDate: 12/06/09 15:24 Bridges Author: ontrail Anyone who has photos of real RR bridges in Ontario please post some photos...I want to model some and all I can find are bridges in the US.
Is there anywhere that has dimensions/drawings.. Randy Date: 12/06/09 15:59 Re: Bridges Author: sooman1 Here are three images of the bridge at MP 27.3 Belleville sub on the CPR (west of Smiths Falls) the CP Xmas train is taken from the north side the other two are from the south side..

Date: 12/06/09 16:18 Re: Bridges Author: ontrail Actually.....I have travelled through the US...New York State..Virginia..and Ive been out west in the States...most of their bridges are done a lot heavier...At least thats my observation..If I can find a few photos in my archives Ill post them side by side similiar Cdn brides..
There was also an excellent web site a few years back...with bridges in the Mid Eastern States..not sure if its still around.. Randy Date: 12/06/09 17:40 Re: Bridges Author: sooman1 Ok Randy.. here are two more images of bridges in the Smiths Falls area.. 2816 on the Merrickville bridge and a CP red barn on the bridge at Almonte Ontario..
bob Date: 12/06/09 17:44 Re: Bridges Author: ontrail I have attached three photos of bridges I have taken..
The first is at a town called Bala Ontario...A little farther above this CP girder bridge is a dam. The sluth is coming from a lake which is about 20 ft higher that the lower Lake.. The second is the CP bridge at Parry Sound Ontario..Here there is directional running as the CN main line basically runs below through Parry Sound...I have yet to get any photos of CN on this bridge... The third is a Viaduct down in St.Marys Ontario..It use to be CN but now the GEXR leases the line...However Via still crosses the Viaduct.. Randy Date: 12/06/09 17:48 Re: Bridges Author: ontrail Wow
Anymore from Almont?? That looks like its begging to be modelled. Thats what Im talking about!! Thanks BOB.. Anyone else |
