Railroad deck girder bridges have been used for decades on railroads large and small throughout North America. Their relatively simple steel construction and open clearance around the track make them useful for a wide variety of locations. The 50' span represented by 933-4506 is well suited to crossings over streams, roadways, other tracks, drainage areas, and uneven terrain, while its versatile design fits steam-, diesel-, and modern-era layouts.

The 50-scale-foot span makes 933-4506 a useful middle-size bridge for layouts where a shorter deck girder is needed without the visual mass of a large truss bridge. Use it individually across a stream, roadway, another railroad line, or scenic depression, or combine multiple spans with compatible supports to create a longer crossing. The open or ballasted deck options provide additional flexibility when matching the bridge to a particular railroad and right-of-way.
