The Walthers Cornerstone 30' Single-Track Deck Girder Bridge is a short-span steel railroad bridge from the Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System. Deck girder bridges like this have been used on lines large and small for over a century — they're the workhorse short-span design with unlimited overhead and side clearance for any train passing across. This 30-footer is perfect as a stand-alone creek crossing, as an approach span for a bigger Cornerstone bridge, or as one section of a longer viaduct paired with steel bridge towers.

Does this come with track and abutments?
No — the kit is the bridge structure only. You'll want Cornerstone Single-Track Abutments (#933-4551) and WalthersTrack Code 83 Bridge Track (#948-83004) or your own track to finish the installation. Center piers (#933-4550) are needed if combining multiple spans.
Open deck or ballasted?
Your choice. The kit supports both — open deck for older/lighter prototypes, ballasted for modern heavy haul.
Can I combine this with the longer 70' version (933-4507) to make a multi-span bridge?
Yes — the Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System is designed to be mixed and matched. Add steel bridge towers, bents, and piers to build any length viaduct you need.
