Description
This is a view through the barrel of the approach span to the vertical lift span of a RR bridge in Burlington Iowa. Above the bridge can be seen one of the towers with the concrete counterweight hanging. The foliage on the shoreline was created with World Construction Set (WCS).

Thanks for your comments! I model lots of RR bridges, and have gradually figured out that a big shortcut can be made by using a diffuse and an opacity map for the lacing. The rendering only takes a few minutes in Max but the modeling took a few days. I had an elevation drawing of the gray span, but all the detail came by eye-balling some photographs. This is pretty typical for models in which the new span (usually brown) must fit in between several older spans.

hey, great model, but the grayscale version is more impressive
