The 1870 Stewartstown Pratt Truss Bridge as pictured here shows the deck girder that in the 1920s effectively replaced the truss bridge. However the now redundant Pratt Truss elements were left intact, creating an odd two-for-one project for your model railroad. The measured drawings picture the bridge in its original truss-only configuration for those looking to recreate the original. Check out the plans.
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Bridge No. 451/1 crosses the Cuyahoga River carrying a switch track serving the Jaite Company, a paper mill in Summit County, Ohio.
Bridge No. 451/1 is a through Pratt truss. It is 138 feet 9 inches pin to pin, and has a clear width of 13 feet 9 inches and a 19 foot 10 inch height clearance. Carnegie steel supplied the steel.
This bridge is the ideal size to recreate in scale for a model railroad layout and our Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Bridge No. 451/1 page features five plans including detailed exploded isometric views.
