Stewartstown Pratt Truss Bridge Plans Added

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.
