well... :-(  )

That's a very unusual design for bridge.... Is it modelled after an existing
bridge? Here in Holland we have loads of bridges (gotta get across all that
water you know...) and allthough we do have bascules, I never seen this type
of bridge been lifted. I'd be interested to see pics of the real thing.
I'll see if I can find some pics of dutch railway bridges.

Its real, I live near a large one:

Here are some great pictures of it (The bottom of the page there is a
panaramic shot of my hometown, Hancock, the bricge is on the right.)
