Lamoille, MN. - The Walther's bridge kits arrived this morning so I wasted very little time beginning on this project. This is a unique bridge in that it has a low middle girder rather than a standard height girder between the tracks. I cut down the center girder provided in the kit and modified the rest of the parts to fit this new smaller girder.

Construction Progress
