I'm looking to start adding bridges to my layout. Does anyone know if the MTH bridge can be used on their graduated trestles or do they have to be level with the piers they come with? Thanks!

Bridge was installed on a 3.8% grade. Note that the piers were cut or extended to the grade. Middle bridge pier is a discussion, some leave it out.
Original deck bridge using the graduated trestle set.
Deck bridge was replaced.
Thanks! Do the arch bridges come with the short bridges too? I've seen them with and without, so I'm lost. I usually order from TrainWorld. They show them with, but it's hard to tell from descriptions. I would think the shorter sections are sold separately.

Dear Mike
First, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I have two quick questions:
1) I see you are using MTH trestles for Fastrack. What base do you use to fit the Atlas track? 5th picture from the top.
2) Subway type of girders, I have never seen anything like that in O scale where did you get them? (bottom photo.)
