Default Bailey bridge in use in Aus.

Last weekend i traveled to a Bailey bridge at Back creek between Forbes and Cootamundra . I had seen it from a passing train. It is in current use and has a 24 ton load limit, there are 3 spans on concrete piers. I have taken photos which I will post when I can get help to get them on this thread.

Default Gday John

I think I mentioned to you that I had driven over a Bailey bridge in the truck very close to home...

Photo was taken by none other than Keefy...
