Bruce, I just got back in from the layout room and I see that the Eagles are winning. 
Got the railings on. A couple nights ago, I drilled the uprights to accept the small diameter music wire. tonight, I glued the uprights to the bridge and threaded the music wire through, it worked out pretty good. The uprights are small plastic angle iron.
After that, I got the track installed, and not a moment too soon. Seems a storm was approaching, and I looked up and saw a local freight headed my way.
The freight had a Santa Fe GP7 as power, with a GERN covered hopper and a couple of boxcars in tow.
When I took the above photos ^^^^, I had the lights in the train room turned off except for the ones over where I was working. The dark background gave the illusion of a stormy horizon, and a little bit of photoshopping completed the scene.
Here's a couple more pics.
