Turnouts over bridges & bridge track

[Anonymous]

I seem to recall that they had guards up to the points of the turn out and then after the switch itself.

Good question. I've noticed that not all bridge track has guard rails, especially through plate, ballasted deck bridges.
There is a prototype for everything, so unless someone comes up with, or you find, a photo of a turnout on a bridge with guard rails, I would go without the guards on a ballasted deck. You can always add guard rails later.

In spaces that are really tight, I've seen railroads put turnouts over bridges. Harpers Ferry is an example of this.

My question is this:

How did the inner set (the guard rail) of the bridge track work with a turnout? Does anybody have an idea?
