Back in the 70's Mainline Modeler had a article and drawings of a thru truss bridge. I have been down in the stacks looking for it, but no luck so far.

What date are you modeling? I have photos of a 5 span pin connected thru truss bridge build on the Burlington and Northwestern in 1879. It was still in service in 1981 when the line was abandoned.

Subject: [CBQ] Truss bridge diagram?

 

Hi all, does anyone have an example of a CB&Q through truss bridge drawing?  I'm trying to document the former bridge 0.91 at Ashland and would like to draw it up in the format that the Q used if possible.  I've photographed and measured (probably missing significant dimensions) the still-existing 3-span bridge over the Republican River just east of Concordia KS which was, as far as I can tell, built to the same plans as bridge 0.91.

Thanks,

Randy
