VR Mitchell River Rail Bridge

VR Mitchell River Rail Bridge

This is a detailed model of the bridge, as built by the VR Ways and Works Branch, to span the Mitchell River near the town of Bairnesdale on the line to Orbost in Gippsland, Eastern Victoria, in 1916. The bridge is constructed from a mixture of driven timber piles (supporting 5 x 30 ft (9 M) timber spans across the flood plain atop rolled steel joists and girders), and 5 massive circular, concrete piers supporting the 76 ft (23 M) riveted steel girder main river spans. Oddly, only the one abutment is 'finished' with 'book-ends'.
