Green River Bridge Update 2

A quick update on the Green River Bridge construction.  Below are some photos of the project.

The area of the Green River was originally built with the standard 2" foam base and cork roadbed.  I planned to come back and remove the material when I was ready to construct the bridge.

Proposed location for the steel girder bridge.

I used a trustworthy fine-toothed saw to make the precision cuts, after laying out the exact location of the steel girder bridge.  I was careful to allow for adequate clearance for rolling stock negotiating the turnout to the left.

 

With the sawcuts complete, the spikes can be pulled and the track section removed.

Foam cut and gently removed with a wide blade putty knife.

First train across the new bridge!

Next will be the scenery including river banks.

Update

It has been a very long time since I have posted an update.  I have been working on the railroad off and on lately, but progress has been slow.  I have removed the temporary roadbed placed during initial mainline construction over the area that is to be the Green River and replaced it with an Atlas steel girder bridge.  I will post pictures of the project when I have a complete set. 
That's it for now!
