Model of Florida East Coast Railway Jupiter Draw Bridge (1 of 2)
This photo shows the Florida East Coast Railway Society N-Trak Model of the Jupiter, Florida Draw Bridge. I photographed this Model Bascule Drawbridge during an N-Trak operating session in our conference room at the Miami Airport Embassy Suites Hotel. Florida State Road 811 (aka: Old Dixie Highway, Aka: Route A1A) runs parallel to the FEC Jupiter Bridge over the Loxahatchee River (aka: Intercoastal Waterway). US Route 1 is a short distance to the East of Old Dixie Highway (A1A), which serves as an alternate to US Route 1.
The Railroad Bridge which is automated and is normally in the OPEN Position so that boats can navigate the river. However when a Train approaches, the bridge issues a Loud Warning Sound before it automatically closes so that the train can cross the Loxahatchee River. I believe that the Highway Bridge Modeled (here) is the US Route 1 Bridge because I believe that the A1A Bridge is not that high. There probably wasn't enough room on the N-Trak Module to fit both Hwy Bridges.
N-Trak is a model railroad assembled with individual modules to form an operating N Scale Operating Model Railroad that can be quickly assembled for Shows, Displays, Festivals and Conventions. The standard module is two feet wide, and four feet long. See:
