It is not desirable touse this form of bridge for any very long span, owing to the fact that the top chord cannot be braced and isliable to get out of line, making the carrying capacity of the truss very small. Plate No. 66 shows a truss of considerably greater span where the top chord is braced to preventthe trouble above referred to. This last named bridge can be made of almost any length. Plate No. 6j shows a design for an elevated railroad structure or viaduct. All of these views of railroadw^ork show a single track.
