Jason,

You might try the Historic American Building Survey and the Historic American engineering Record (HABS/HAER) at the Library of Congress American Memory site.  

 

http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/habs_haer/

 

The HAER portion has a  quite large number of bridges with plans.  In the search area type the city and state. 

 

You might be surprised at what you find.  I always visit the HABS/HAER first in my research quests along with Google books.

Subject: [CBQ] Re: CB&Q East Dubuque depot

 

I've been researching this area for the last year or so and I'm pretty happy with what I've found. There is however, one thing I cannot find any info on or pictures of and it's the last piece I need to have a finished drawing of what I want to model.

Just north of the depot on the CBQ tracks there was a 20' bridge and I can't for the life of me get any good information on it. The best I figure, there was a dirt road that went under the tracks, but I can't find any pictures that show this.

Does anyone have any recollections or information on what this was or looked like? It's all gone now of course.

Thanks for any help,
