Open frame style Signal Bridge
Click To Enlarge

This is our best bridge and is highly detailed.  This bridge  uses a generic open frame signal bridge as its  prototype and will fit into any railroad in the US from about 1900 to the current era.   The bridge is  available with a variety of APC signal heads, both single and double, searchlight style and color light style. Details include a steel mesh floor on the walkway, brass hand rails, ladders and conduit.

These bridges are very rugged and will take anything the outdoors can throw at them (heat, cold, rain, snow, etc.) and will last for years. This signal bridge is available in both two and three track widths.

The basic bridge has no heads mounted, The two track ABS bridge has one head per track, on opposite sides and the CTC style bridge has 4 (two track) or 6 (three track) single heads mounted, one for each track in each direction. You have the option of selecting either searchlight or color light style heads.

Signal bridge head configurations

The bridge shown in the photos on this page is a CTC 2 track with 4 color light heads.

The basic bridge is designed to use our signal standard mounted bridge heads if you would like to build your own custom head configuration.  Each track has two stud mounts, one in each direction.  Adding a signal standard is a simple matter of slipping the standard over the stud mount, securing it with a drop of epoxy and routing the wires through the conduits on the bridge.  Order signal standards separately.

If you're not planning on setting your bridge in concrete we offer optional 8" long brass stock 'footers'  that bolt on to each side of the base of the bridge to provide stability in high winds.
