Here is one listing of railroad bridge types, however, it is for "modern" bridges being built today, and doesn't include a lot of the "older" ones found around any town of reasonable "old" age, like Baltimore, Detroit, and Chicago.

Some of the most impressive steel railroad bridges are Hell Gate Bridge, Grand Junction Railroad Bridge, Beverly Bridge, Quebec Bridge, Genesee Arch Bridge, Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge and many more. Many of these bridges use a girder design.

2024年7月5日 · Recent rail transport developments emphasize the significance of dynamic train-track-bridge interactions, impacting design, performance, and safety. This tutorial guides advanced SOFiSTiK users in creating a Train-Track-Bridge Interaction system.

2019年4月24日 · Train–track–bridge dynamic interaction is a fundamental concern in the field of railway engineering, which plays an extremely important role in the optimal design of railway bridges, especially in high-speed railways and heavy-haul railways. This paper systematically presents a state-of-the-art review of train–track–bridge dynamic interaction.

Here are some bridge do’s and don’ts to keep in mind. • Most bridges are deck girder bridges, some disguised as truss bridges. Be sure that both ends of each beam or girder are supported by an abutment or pier or tied to a truss at a panel joint. • Don’t butt a bridge to an abutment; rather, rest it atop a shelf on the abut-ment.
