MR did a plan of it for a model railroad about twenty years ago. Originally Western Pacific I think the California Zephyr used that route. By the way your English is s lot better then you think.

Yes, the California Zephyr, which was a joint operation by the Burlington, Rio Grande, and Western Pacific, used the Keddie Wye.

Here is a link to a website on bridges that gives some basic information.  It also gives latitude and longitude so you could find it on Google Earth and use their measuring tool:
