I don't think so. Last I heard, someone said that, after finding
loads of bridges missing, they'd found a bunch of them stacked one
on top of another, somewhere in Canada!


It's true. There's a picture of them at

If you look closely, all of those bridges are replicas of the old
quebec city bridge (it is missing in Quebec). I wonder why there is
more than one?

Apparently, bridges are now part of the Autogen scenery. Maybe they decided that
the Quebec bridge made a good 'generic' bridge and it was meant to be used in a
selection of locations but something went wrong in the database and they've all
ended up in the one place!

Cantilever bridges of that size are not very common. Until recently, the
Quebec Bridge was considered one of the wonders of the World (it fell
twice while it was being built). Actually I can't recall seeing any
other large bridges of the kind.

The Forth Railway Bridge in Scotland is a good example. That has been
there for years. Other kinds of bridge are now much more economical for
large spans. Is that bridge there in FS2004? It crosses the Firth of
Forth about 5 miles west of Edinburgh. There is also a newer suspension
road bridge next to it and they should both be there.
