Built in 1904 atop 1874 piers of a previous span, this bridge embodies the beautiful utility of Pennsylvania Railroad bridge designs. Perfect for crossing a river on your layout, the Parker Truss span could be used alone, or with the Warren deck truss sections to span the widest gap. Check out the plans.

Pennsylvania Railroad Brings the Family Home for the Holidays

And, seeing trains running in the living room, around the Christmas tree just screams “Santa is on his way!”
