The urban overpass and retaining walls are a perfect fit for Chicago and some areas I've been thinking about modeling. This is perfect timing for me.

There must be many examples for larger urban areas, but such bridgework can be found in small towns.  The old B&O passes over roads and the old NYC right-of-way on very similar steel bridgework in Connersville, Indiana.

In general these kinds of bridges are incredibly common East of the Mississippi, even today. Kind of annoyed the release came after I started on my current layout, would have been perfect for a flyover.

If you build it, some company will release a model of it within 6 months of your finish date.

Glad to see Walthers N is still on life support. Grateful they even know we still exist.

If I were President, I would order them to make  most of their industrial models from Cornerstone available in N scale. That, of course, would cause problems in the trade balance with China. :facepalm:
