Lick Creek Trestle under construction

Lick Creek Trestle was a trestle between Belews Creek and Walnut Cove, NC. The trestle was one of two between the towns. On my layout, it will be curved and modified to fit the space I have; however, it is based upon the prototypical practices of the Southern Railway and the A&Y. I am pulling measurements from the ICC reports, and from a site visit of a nearby trestle.

Here is a bent for the trestle. The cap is 12x12, the post are 10x12, braces 10x3.
