I was off by one digit. The supports in the forground and the grey walkway are from the kit you identified. It has a single center support. The brick abbutments and wing wall don't look like anything I've encountered before. Most of the abbutments I've seen from Lionel/K-Line/MTH are grey.

I will email Jeff.

chuckn,
I don't think it is that bridge, although it could be.
I found one set of instructions #71-2968-250. Entitled 'Railroad Bridge'
It shows only one pier support.
But, going through my parts bin I found the embankments pictured below

Also shown are the pier supports in the forground.

Am I dealing with two different kits here?

It's the ROW bridge and was only supported in the middle (at least each kit only has one set of support pilings.

6-12969, from 1997

The model kit in question are the ones I used in my turtable project.
(see Zak's Turntable)

I threw the box out so......

I would like to find the number to the kit in order to better inform you forum members.

From what I remember it was a walkway or walk over bridge of sorts.
It was molded in color plastic and was to be supported at either end by two piers.

I purchased two kits about a year and a half ago.

I would appreciate any info you may have.

Thank you
