Rockville Bridge ?

The prototype has no sidewalls, and today is 3 tracked ... I found a 2 track stone viaduct, and layed 2 of them side by side, that looked somewhat like the dark stone granite blocks that the PRR used all over the lines. I will look up the name of the viaduct.

I sunk the viaduct a couple meters lower than the track, so that the sidewalls were hidden under the track roadbed sides.
I appied Zinc Railing to the viaduct walls.
The original Rockville bridge is shown in th background ... there were 3 Rockville bridges in history

The Railjet consist is normally powered by a Siemens Vectron engine, which is Electric, but for it's Nation-Wide tour Amtrak dug out it's old Conversion Car (a baggage car) that allows them to couple to the European Buffer & Chain style (still painted in ICE colors from when it toured with the ICE1). An P42 has been drafted in to provide power & HEP.
