Well on the Waxhaw Divusion, I managed to set, level and align the second bridge on the upper level brabch line. In this town Area, the station building, the woodland scemics model serves as the depot on this track. 

Have the track aligned and roadbed in place. Tommorrow  I will screw down the tracks in this area and think abou, maybe actually run power leads to this area.

Nice looking bridge!! Who is it made it and what part number is it??

Yes it is a nice bridge It is well detailed both above and below. The Bridge is by MTH Railking. It is their cat no. 40-1031. They call it a steel arch bridge. It is about 30 inches long and comes with 3 support piers. One of the piers has a circuit board to accept a connection from a lamp on the bridge which I think is supposed to flash. That pier has a pair of wires to make an electrical connection. I bought this at a train show in Charlotte NC about 8 years ago. It was missing a support pier. 

The MTH RTR catalog seems to show this bridge and there have been several cat numbers over the years. I suspect the difference is in the colors, whether or not the third support pier is in the package and whether it has the flashing light.

If you don't mind, could you please tell me the dimensions of the arch span from the base to the top of the highest point of the arch?  This is just for the span itself, not the piers.  I need to confirm whether it could fit on my ceiling layout.

Thanks.
