With a through truss span, there is usually no closed deck to ballast. You see this done with a through girder bridge.
2. In most cases, there is much less "train noise" on bridges, than anywhere else.
3. Your side trusses,( or girders ) need to extend from "support to support", as it is the trusses/girders that carry the load.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
