Group,

I'm working on building a model of the Dayton (Illinois) bridge and have a question.  Fortunately the bridge still exists although Dayton Road has been rerouted and no longer goes beneath it.  Google Maps measures it to 104' long.  The Q track diagrams show it as Br 76.61 and 1 20" I-Beam 6 spans W.P.T (wood pile trestle).  Does anybody know if the I-beam spans the entire bridge, or does it just span the roadway opening?  Thanks.

I don't know if there are any good railroad memories of this bridge, but trying to railfan around there was always fun as it was a one-lane underpass with a sharp 90 bend in the road.  There was always a bit of hope and prayer nobody was coming the other way when making the turn.
