A friend of mine, who is interested in creating a scale model of Moodna Viaduct for the Microsoft Train Simulator platform, sent me the following message:
"On Moodna Viaduct, I encountered information that indicates the track, and therefore the trestle was on a grade. The source claimed 2%. In the one picture I did think it curious the towers were nearly as tall at one end as they were by the creek. Is there any knowledge at your end to support or refute this? On the 3200' length, this works out to 64'... I would need to know if it is 2%. It's very possible the article rounded up (or down)."
Can anyone confirm or deny that Moodna Viaduct is on a 2% grade? In addition to this question, I am wondering is Moodna Viaduct on a curve.
Thank you for your time and help.
Sincerely,
Walter
