Thanks. (I built the cliff with boat ramp.) There is a 12 brick
difference in elevation.
One thing that may not be clear from the pictures is that the railroad
bridge is actually a motorized lift-bridge (drawbridge), thanks to
David Wegmuller. The center span is motorized and can lift up. It is
controlled by a train speed regulator.
The road bridge (yellow arched truss), which I built, is at a higher
elevation so it does not need to be motorized. Ships up to 20 bricks
high or so can pass under the bridges when the railroad bridge is
raised.
