Railroad Bridge and Trestle Photographs
You are at: CarrTracks > Gallery
The railroad bridge and trestle picture gallery is a collection of train photographs I have taken over the years. This is not a report on all of the various kinds of railroad bridges. It is just an index of pictures of trains on bridges. If you would like to know more about bridges see
bridge basics. This will open another window so you will not lose your place. After viewing the basics, you should be able to spot the difference
between a Warren and a Pratt truss bridge.
Bridges are fascinating structures. By using a variety of different types and styles the early railroad builders were able to cross countless rivers and streams. Trains appear to defy gravity as they cross bodies of water without getting their feet wet.
