WOOHOO! Good weather = time to build

[Gary S]

I thought it was time for a new bridge... and here you have hidden plans for TWO in the existing thread! Nice pics and research material. These will undoubtedly be beauties as well. (If you want these split into their own threads, just let me know).

Thanks Andrew. As I start the buidls, I'll make some new threads in the Scratchbuilding forum. Oh... there were actually three bridges up there!

Now, speaking of these bridges, I mentioned in my reply to biL that there are five bridges in 1.5 miles on this particular east-west section of track, which runs a bit south of downtown Houston and then turns and heads down to Galveston Island. Here's a map with the bridges.

   

And the bridges as numbered:

ONE - South Wayside

   

TWO - 69th Street

   

THREE - Forest Hill Blvd

   

FOUR - 75th Street

   

FIVE - Brays Bayou at Mason Park

   

And as this line heads south to Galveston, there are numerous bridges along the way. In the next few miles, there are at least four more substantial bridges over waterways.
