[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith .....bending those girders around the plywood ......[/quote] Just a note to clariify (like mud) that the plate girders aren't bent around a "curved" sub-roadbed. Instead, the sub-roadbed (which is also the roadbed) is cut in angles in equal lengths, like a stop sign, to make a curve. The track doesn't go straight through the center of each bridge section but curves. The roadbed has to be wide enough so that rolling stock doesn't hit the plate girders on the outside curve .
