need help with a bridge, support problem

[Anonymous]

i need some sort of a support to hold this track up, i dont think a bridge would work because they dont make bridges on turns. Unless i can make my own bridge but idk how. If someone could tell me how to make one or any good ideas instead of using a bridge. The hard part of this is there is a track right under it. Please help

If I understand the situation properly, I suspect the prototype would use a steel girder type deck bridge in this situation -- due to the track below, the kind where the side girders go up rather than down from the deck, such as on the Atlas bridge.

You are right they do not make or use curved bridges on the prototype but when they need to they DO put curved track on straight bridges ... in this instance almost a double-track sized bridge should do it, perhaps on rock or stone abutments such as Chooch makes.

As usual, you can find a prototype for ANYTHING. This would not solve coldcrow's problem, but I introduce you to the famous Minneapolis Stone Arch curved railroad bridge:

yes wow, double track bridge might work might look kinda bad but better then the train running off the tracks
