Thanks Did trains use both upper and lower at one time? The pics don't show trains on both levels eh
Chicago has the Wells Street Bridge; CTA top and autos bottom.
Sounds like a neat thing to model even if a real one never existed. Different level ovals sharing the same bridge on a layout would be cool for sure.
Richmond, Virginia has a famous picture of where 3 trains criss cross each other on bridges. It was 3 levels and I believe 3 different railroads.
That's what I'm thinking about doing Im working on my 2 level layout and that kind of bridge is what im thinking about doing for my walk through it would be my half swing door (sota speak) into the layout upper would be my mains & sidings lower would be stagging eh
Did a quick search and came up with this https://images.search.yahoo.co...mp=yhs-mypoints_beta
here's another https://www.american-rails.com/triple-crossing.html
Now it says there has never been captured on film 3 trains crossing at the same time other than photo Ops set up for just that reason.

Thats pretty cool eh
I also forgot the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western had a double decker Lift bridge between Newark, NJ and Harrison, NJ. The Upper deck carried the electric Main Line and the Lower deck had the Freight line.
Only the Upper deck is in use today.
