Hi, The name brand that is given is "PSAM" ,that's all I know. It's a listing on eBay. They have many impressive, albeit expensive bridge models.

Canyon Diablo Bridge  is two (2) track replica of  a Deck truss bridge. Model is based on the  AT&SF/BNSF Canyon Diablo Bridge near Flagstaff, AZ. Bridge is Key to high capacity corridor overcoming this natural barrier.  Bridge common to designs of the era. Eye Catching... Nothing beats a bridge as a focal point of interest on your railroad!! Model is compressed and works for HO & S Scale.

Model is approximately Four Feet, 48", in length accommodating most modelers space requirements, while capturing the character and mass of a Deck truss design.  Model is based on the  BNSF Canyon Diablo Bridge in AZ.  Key to high capacity corridor overcoming this natural barrier. 

Bridge, Length: Four Feet = 48"     Center span between foundation piers is 26".

Material: Metal (Aluminum) SAFETY WARNING. Bridge is aluminum. Turn off electrical service to this area of your layout when installing the bridge.  Use extreme caution when incorporating model into your layout as Aluminum is an excellent conductor of electricity and represents a shock hazard!    

Assembly: Rivets required. Rivets and Rivet gun are not supplied ,but, are affordable and can be purchased at Ace Hardware, Home Depot & Lowes... 

Weight: 6 lbs. 

Shipper weight: 25 lbs. 

The 'bay lists the kit at $300, assembled at $800.  A great looking bridge!   48", there is also a 40" HO kit at $600 buy-it-now.

Hard to tell, but it looks like small nut&bolts might be used instead of rivets.   Perhaps even CA?   Assembly looks to be easy, with two long side sections, with cross-sections to join the halves, based on the instructions posted.  Unpainted aluminum.

I don't have a place to install it on a layout, but I am tempted just to see if I can put it together with small bolts and nuts, then use it as a display.
