Girder Bridge Question

[NW Mailing List]

Paul,

I checked with a former staff member of the N&W/NS bridge department, and as I understand the practice, black was the standard color for all N&W/NS bridges, but some highway departments specified aluminum for bridges over highways where the highway department was paying for the bridge, e.g., where the bridge was required by a highway widening project, etc.

As pointed out by someone else, "Norfolk and Western" was stenciled in black paint on the aluminum-painted bridge carrying the Winston-Salem line over Franklin Road in Roanoke.

  During the 1960s and 1970s, what color were the N&W girder bridges that were used to overpass a US or state highway ?

   

  Was the Norfolk and Western name painted on the sides ?

   

   

  Thanks
