I don't have the calendar (guess I better get one!) but have been looking for info on the Mill Rift bridge. Has anything been published giving dimensions, specs, drawings, etc? I've seen many good photos, but not much else. Or, do any list members have any info? The Diamond, Vol 7 # 2 has a broadside view of one of the spans on the cover, and from that I've scaled the size of that span to be approx. 162' in length, and the height of the truss (think that's the right term) to be approx. 22'. Is this close? Are all the spans the same length? The stone piers appear to be slightly angled WRT to the bridge - -- is this correct? I belong to an HO modular club in Illinois, and have been contemplating building an 8' module with the Mill Rift bridge on it. Most of the other members model midwest roads (IC, GM&O, etc.) and I need to interject a bit of Erie into the layout. I would appreciate any info or resources anyone could point me to.
