We've already had an unsupported bridge spanning a gap in the tables,
and we've already had an arch. We have not had a true trestle bridge.
My suggestion would be a *supported* trestle bridge that is often seen
around Alberta. And when I say trestle, I mean black supports *under*
the track deck. The trestle supports could go half way down to the
floor or further. And there is no table beneath the bridge (maybe just
some boxes covered with tarp). Note that nothing is elevated here--
the track deck is level with the tables.
I'm thinking of something like the following, but on a smaller scale:

Opinions?
Do you have enough black beams for this, Steve? :-]

Yup, will try. Will test it thouroughly to see how long it can survive with
out choking. The new red inverted arches should solve most problems
nicely.
