I've googled for days and am having no luck, I've had it for 30 years and it was old when I bought it.

Is it high enough for STD gauge? It looks wide for O and has only one set of track screw holes down the center.
I put in the holes when I mounted on my layout. The train opening is 6.25" high and 7" wide. Overall dimensions are 8" wide, 7.75" high and 28" long. Not wide enough for 2 o gauge tracks. No markings on it anywhere.
It sure is a stumper. What is it constructed of? That kind of detail today is achieved with resin castings, laser cuts and such.
I did notice something that I thought was curious - The design is kind of like a HOWE Truss with the cables represented by the solid vertical pieces.
It's made out of steel, its a neat little bridge.
I'm not sure, but maybe it's the original American Flyer double track bridge.

Thank you, very close but I don't think that's it. My bridge is 28" long and this is 24". The vertical beams look a little different also.
Still can't find out what bridge this is. I've googled and ebay'd every day and cannot find another like it. Not looking to sell it, it's actually already back on my display after a rehab. Could it be handmade?
With those erector pieces it sure looks like Flyer. But my Flyer bridge from that era is 24 not 28 inches long too.
