Here is a pic of the Rockville on my Toy Train Layout. I'm not into scenery, just toy trains. So it sits here in place of A trestle bents. My Dad would always point out the real Rockville to me when we traveled from Altoona to visit relatives in Philly or Allentown.

I cut out the spaces the piers set in to lower the height to match the A bent height.

A question about the real Rockville bridge, is it near Harrisburg or is it called the Harrisburg viaduct? If so I have seen the real bridge on a trip to Harrisburg several years ago. It's a really impressive structure for when it was made.

it is near Harrisburg. It's in Marysville, PA. It is a pretty cool bridge to see. One of my favorite spots to hit up when I railfan out there
