So ... before I offer a name ...

... the body of water this structure will span is the Susquehanna River?

I like Greg's suggestion of Delahanna Draw, although I've changed the spelling slightly. It describes its use on your layout and sounds, to me at least, prototypical.

Ooooooo! Doctor!

"Delahanna" ... a contraction of the two rivers ... and the re-spelling makes all the difference!!!! ...

... it sounds right for the area, too! Very "Pennsyltucky"!

I like it ... Delahanna Draw gets my vote!

so far I like that one, it sounds a lot like the name tomustang came up with... just easier to say.

Well, Now i have a third bridge for you.

This one ACTUALLY looks like the one you're modeling (at least, more so than the Delair). The Upper Hack Bridge is a former DL&W bridge on the Boonton line still used by NJ transit.

Work is going slow but moving along. I got most of the horizontal braces in ..And for the first time the west tower stands on it's own.[attachment=6029][attachment=6030]

That is coming along nicely!!!

Pretty impressive that is can stand up by itself!!
Won't be long know before trains are running through it moving America's Freight!!!

That would be black diamonds Mountaingoatgreg.

Wow, just looked at this thread from start to finish. Great modeling. Delahanna sounds like a great name for a bridge

Started on the cross braces.[attachment=6047] After this I have 3 more sets of them to build.

Here is a closeup of the rivet detail.[attachment=6046]
when they are installed I hope that they add some needed stability to the towers. They are pretty strong but there is a lot play in the structure.

E-Paw what is this english locomotive doing here?

Don't know POP , the only reason that I can think of is It gives the crews of the heavy mikes and mountains assigned to Riegelsville something to laugh at.

Installed the first set of X-braces. They do stiffed the tower up significantly. They still need the splice plates installed where they meet the horizontal cross members.[attachment=6057]

While the glue setsup I went ahead and got the next set for the back in the works..[attachment=6056]

I have completed the Iron work for the East tower of "DH" draw. At this time I'll have to take a break from the bridge for a little while so I can get some work done on the " EOY Challenge ". I still intend to have the mainline complete for Christmas, I may have to hire Gary S' bridge crew, they seem to build bridges in record time.

Here is the top deck of the East tower.[attachment=6139]

And a few views of the completed iron work...[attachment=6138]
