As automobile traffic increased, railroads and communities increasingly replaced busy grade crossings with bridges and elevated rights-of-way. Steel overpasses became familiar features in developed areas, allowing trains to pass above streets while road traffic continued underneath. Many examples remain in service today, giving 933-3871 applications across a wide range of modeling eras.
