CommentsAlec Birch Well gentlemen, that is really interesting structurally, what do we make of it? Is it a box girder or something earth filled or what?

Paul Maciulaitis looking at the picture I can see a timber deck next to the coach and the sides look to be only about 2" thick i'm thinking it's a truss bridge with timber cladding to reduce weather damage
