Rearrangement of the former Rijnspoorwegbaan Utrecht-Rotterdam between Utrecht and Vleuten Fixed bridge over the canal. View of the bridge during the ordeal. View of a point north of the bridge and west of the canal Annotation: Each of the two tracks is loaded with a train composed of 4 speed locomotives, each weighing 70,7 tonnes and 1 tender locomotive weighing 38,4 tonnes. The bridge is designed for double track and consists of two main beams made of drawn iron, assembled according to a first order truss with straight lower edge, curved upper edge and perpendicular posts, between which inclined and each intersecting tensile and pressure diagonals are arranged. The intermediate supports support completely freely on the lower edges. The length of the span measured between the axes of the supports is M. The distance of the main beams at centre is M. The height of the main beams including the thickness of the edge plates is M. The top of the rail is M+ AP. The bottom of the iron construction is at M + AP Date: 23 October 1891 Location: Utrecht (prov.), Utrecht (city) Keywords: divisions, railway bridges, railway lanes, water works
