Truss bridges are widely used where longer railroad spans are needed over streams, rivers, roads, and other rail lines. Designs of this general type have served railroads since the late 1800s, giving 933-4510 broad modeling potential. Walthers updates the classic bridge design with optional modernized components that provide the clearance needed for contemporary freight equipment while retaining the distinctive appearance of a traditional steel railroad truss bridge.
