I decided to go into railroad bridges 101 first before posting anything. These types of bridges seem to have many names so I wanted to find their actual names. Here is what I came up with.

In the area that I am from, there seems to be two basic types of girder bridges.

It's the Through Girder that I'm looking for.

Then there is the trestles...

The Through Pratt Truss is what I'm looking for in this group.

There is one of those still standing in Scranton. I know because I walked across it getting to the DW&L Tower at the end of the Steamtown Yard. I can get some pics of it this weekend.

Yes, that is the Cedar Ave Bridge. The Laurel Line Station sat right below this bridge...I believe it's a parking lot now.

I finally had some time to look at the packs that I've download. The Great Northern girder pack is close to what I'm looking for, but not exact. I haven't manage to find any trestles yet.

I think it is Great Northener that also has a wooden trestle,but it has a continuous wooden deck on top. Still it is the only one we have,but there could be a payware one. I am building my route with no payware items,I will have to create custom objects when I near completion.

Today, I was trying to put together a bridge to resemble the Eagle Pass International bridge I stumbled across a couple of Truss Bridges. I found them in the "Object Tool" area under "bridges/viaducts/tunnels" it may help you.

Do you know the names of the bridges? Or where they came from? I can't seem to find them.

Please forgive me as I am very, very new at this, in fact I just started tonight in building my very first route. In the editor their names are "Truss Bridge B1 50m", "Truss Bridge B2 50m", "Truss Bridge C1", and "Truss Bridge C2m". If I am using RW Tools right it is from “Cajon Pass.” As this is what is shows in RW Tools:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\Kuju\RailsimulatorUS\Scenery\Structures\CajonPass_WP_03_05_B1_50m.bin (Scenery Item) on tile -000002-000001.bin 24.6084 500.636
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\Kuju\RailsimulatorUS\Scenery\Structures\CajonPass_WP_03_05_C1.bin (Scenery Item) on tile -000002-000001.bin 49.5493 501.73

The "Truss Bridge B1 50m" is the actual Truss bridge and the "Truss Bridge C1" is the support pillar. I hope this is of some help to you.
