If you look at that Lionel bridge from the side, it's obvious that it's composed of two of their older short bridges with a filler piece on the top of the joint. Hence, it looks like it should have a pier in the middle, which sort of defeats the purpose of the longer length. It does have some nice features, such as the 'liftoutness', the modularity of the support piers, and shoes, so it's unfortunate Lionel didn't go with clean sheet of paper tooling -- in my opinion, of course.

Wow. Painfully obvious if you look. I hadn't noticed it and never saw the bridge close up in person. That's a shame. They could have learned from Atlas's example. Making the bridge convertible that is.
