<P>I agree with OTM (One track mind). I have never seen or heard of a double track wooden trestle bridge. However, watch this space. I am sure someone somewhere will know of one.</P> <P>I suspect that the reason they are a little like hens' teeth is that railroads who would build a wooden trestle bridge would not run to double track. One pretty simple reason.</P> <P>The second reason that occurred to me would need some engineering expertise. I suspect that if one was to build a structure from wood that would withstand the loads imposed by double track traffic, then the volume of material needed would make the project uneconomical.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
