N&W Bridges

Two other, smaller, examples on the Scioto Division are at Locks (N&W crosses Three Locks Road), just below Chillicothe and over the Big Walnut at Ashville. Both are still there.

N&W had many truss bridges, both deck truss and through truss. Most notable was the Ohio River bridge at Kenova, which had several through truss spans. The bridge over the Potomac at Shepherdstown had several deck truss spans. The bridge over the James at Natural Bridge Station had several deck spans and one through span. The bridge over the Scioto at Portsmouth had several through truss spans. There were others, but these are the ones that come first to my mind.

Did the N&W (circa 1950s) have any truss bridges?  Or combination truss bridge/girder bridge?  

I have seen many pictures of trestle bridges (some quite impressive) on the N&W system, but not a single truss bridge I can find in print or video.  

I am modeling the N&W (all steam) and have a dramatic water feature I would line to cross as authentically as possible.  Any reference to good source material on N&W bridges would be appreciated.  I have O. Winston Links' photographic book "The Last Steam Railroad in America."  

Thank you for any photos you might be able to forward.
