The rebirth of the Canyon State RR

[FiatFan]

Many moons ago I had a dropping bridge with a hinge on one end. The other end was held in place and aligned with a single bolt. The last couple of inches of track on either side of the gap were not fastened down. In addition I had rail joiners that I would slide into position once the bridge was in place. Of course the trick was to remember to slide the rail joiners aside on both ends before lowering the bridge. Good luck with whatever you decide.
