Matt,
I agree, the road bridges at 17th street and a few others are rather unique, I haven't seen anything similar to them either. The Pennsylvania Pratt works well for the 7th street bridge. I also used it to for the Route 36 bridge across the Hollidaysburg yard. I used a different road superimposed to hide the spline joints. It'll be awhile before bridges for me becomes a thing. A spline would probably be better, as it would give flexibility for use in other places. I changed the config files in some of Ben Neal's fixed bridges so I could "roll" them to match the grade. I have used some of the iron Settle and Carlise Bridges, they seem to be a good fill in for some of the steel bridges the Pennsy used. I also use FMA for the roadbed and stone arch bridges.
I got the idea for a tower kit from PRR325's towers with the signs.

Here is a Clinchfield RR bridge that found a home on the Bedford Division.
