Lionel Girder Bridge 6-12730 Too Narrow for FasTrack - Suggestions?

I'd carve the sides of the track, that is the most expedient method of fitting it in.  It should actually be fairly easy to do, I'd probably do it on my bandsaw and then just clean up the cut.

I have no power tools but this gave me an idea. I ended up using a box cutter knife to shave each side of a 10" FasTrack section and was able to shave off enough of each side to get the track piece to sit comfortably inside the girder bridge. Chuck this post into the bin of "questions that didn't need to be asked"

All's well that ends well.

But does it work and do the trains get through alright?

Yes and yes! None of the rails were touched, just the plastic roadbed edges.

The bridges add some very nice character to the layout, even with no other scenery or streams for the bridges to cross over. Makes me excited to get started on adding more scenery to the layout

The Fastrack roadbed is wider than any locomotive.  The only issue with bridges is typically the approach.  If it's a fairly narrow bridge, you need enough straight track on the approaches so that any overhang isn't sufficient to hit the bridge sides.
