Fantastic!  Is there a prototype for your model or did you build it to fit your scene?

That is a very strange looking bridge.  Looks like two bridges inside each other.  Where is it, is there more info?

It's a former GN, now BNSF bridge crossing the Columbia River near Wenatchee, WA.  It was rebuilt by the GN by building another bridge essentially around the current one making a bridge within a bridge much like Leo pointed out.
That looks like a really nice rendition Heath.
