I want to model the Oregon Trunk between Bend and Madras, Oregon. Its scenic highlight is the magnificent steel arch bridge over the Crooked River.
The only bridges I can find anywhere are a nice mutliple-span Warren truss and single- and double-track plate girders.
From searching the Wiki for "Bridge 2019" (after getting a lot of chadff about older versions), I got this at HowTo/Build a Bridge - TrainzOnline (ts2009.com):

Bridges and tunnels work much the same way as for normal track but can be a little harder to lay due to the type of terrain involved. It is sometimes easier to make the bridges and tunnels on flat ground then move them into place.
Select the Track Type “Bridges” by clicking on the Track Type arrow keys, then scroll through the list of bridges until you find the bridge type you are looking for. To place the bridge, select the Add Track (A) tool and lay the bridge just like you do for laying track.
Okay, well and good. But where are the "Track Type Arrow Keys?" I had no more luck finding them than I did a steel arch bridge.
