Track side canal bridge

Have you tried "Humped Back Bridge" in your search? I have built a canal on my route and recall using one of these and just lowering it down a bit, then raise the ground slightly at the sides.
Hope that helps a little. :wave:
Edit.
I just spotted your photo link at the bottom. You could try contacting our resident bridge builder "Bendorsey", check all his creations and send him your picture, he has made many bridges on request.

Printed the pics and info out. Have 2 or 3 items ahead of you but it won't be too long. Any idea as to the height above the water?

From water to center of arch Approx 10feet. (I counted the number of curses of bricks, 40, @ 3" per brick including mortar = 10feet?

Thank you bendorsey for making this for me, in advance, or should I say us.
 
Thank you from me as well as there's a very similar type of bridge near to me. It should be just about noticeable from the wharfs on a Leicester & Swannington Railway, West Bridge end, type route. ;).

I have a track plan of the area, so one day it may get made. Should be an interesting branch line to do, after my big local area route is finished.

Regards.

Hi Acidfree:

Your bridge is made. PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you the CDP for testing.
