I believe it's the first crossing at Little Orleans.
Here's a 1994 reference shot.

Still want to waste time on the Milwaukee crap? ;D

I actually am inclined to do the skewed thru truss just west of 3rd crossing.  I did not know hardly anything of the WM back in the early 90's when I decided to drive the B&O mainline from Harpers Ferry to Cumberland. I was pleasantly surprised to see the skewed truss between Hansrote and Magnolia. I was also amazed at how high the fill was above the flood plain. Smart WM people!!

I really need the deck truss, though...  Probably three sections!

Lee,
Look under Deck Truss on my site and see if that would work. I'm 50% complete on that one.

That looks like Shepherdstown on the N&W Shenandoah line...  Pretty close, but the WM's bridge trusses weren't as tall, and the side frames look to be a lot beefier...

The biggest problem I see with these great looking bridges from Traincat and BLMA ..

There is only a subset of modelers who can do these things justice .. thereby limiting the purchase pool even further. . its like putting a diamond in a sows' ear ..

I am sure there is a collectors market.

WOW is about all one can say

It seem to be a shame to paint it

No want collectors, this bridge is designed to be used, photograghed and enjoyed!!
