Can anyone show me an example of a girder deck bridge with a wooden trestle on each side? Extra points for narrow gauge...

Not sure if this is what you had in mind for a "girder deck bridge."

Yes, that's it exactly. Wooden trestle, curved on either side, girder deck bridge in the middle spanning an open gap. (Girder Deck Bridge: Ties on top of the girders, as opposed to the girders sticking up on both sides.)

Planning... planning... just making sure this was actually done.

How many points is it worth?
