Re: Pratt Truss Bridges

Ken:
For modelling purposes I have a set of drawings of the Pratt Truss bridge 452 just outside Durango on the Silverton Branch. They are the actual bridge company drawings. I got them from John Maxwell many years ago and I think are still availiable. The Maxwell Collection has other drawings and photographs of the Black Canon line also listed. The photos were taken in the early 1960's when it was a county road before the Blue Mesa Dam was constructed. Another source of good bridge photos in the Black Canon is Volume 1 of George Beam And The Denver And Riogrande. Jackson Thode put together his photos from the rr archives and clearly show bridge details.
