There is a fold-out drawing for the original Pleasant Valley High Bridge (Bridge 9A, a BIG[200'] Howe Truss bridge) in the RGS section of "Narrow Gauge in the Rockies" by Beebe & Clegg
In fact, many of the big RGS bridges had Howe Truss section or two up until the WWI era. There are plans for several in the "RGS Story" books. Along with the smaller ones in various places, I sometimes wonder if the original RGS had more Howe Truss bridges than trestles. Not enough to go through and count though...
