VR Stony Creek Rail Bridge

VR Stony Creek Rail Bridge

This is a detailed model of the bridge, as built by the VR Ways and Works Branch, to span the Stony Creek near the town of Nowa Nowa on the line to Orbost in Gippsland, Eastern Victoria, in 1915. The bridge is constructed using the traditional VR driven timber trestle pile design, supporting 27 x 30 ft (9 M) Steel girder spans across the creek valley, atop rolled steel joists. Unusually (for this type of construction), the piers are braced with triangular timber piles to form towers, so that the spans are alterating tower and bridge spans. Over it's entire 810 Ft (247M) length, the bridge is on a gradient of 1 in 50 (2%) and it is, at nearly 60' (19 M) above the valley floor, one of the highest such bridges in the state.
