Hardwick Covered Railroad Bridge
| The design is based on a actual railroad bridge near Hardwick, Vermont. The 98 footer was built in 1908 to span the Lamoine River, and used the Town-Pratt lattice truss, as did many other r.r. bridges. We have used the simpler Town lattice truss on the model to ease construction. |

| The plans were great and easy to follow along with. I did make a couple modifications: Increase the angle of the upper outside edge of the portal side, changed the pitch of the roof (slightly), added interior boards approx. 12 - 15 feet on both portals and a matching base angle on the interior side of the portal.
