The Three Way Road or the Three Bridges is an area encompassing a complex of railway lines and bridges.
History
The upper bridge carries a tramway over the lower bridge.[1] The lower bridge is a double-tracked viaduct which crosses over another single-track line as well as a narrow canal. Its exact location on the Island of Sodor - along with which lines the bridges carry and cross - is currently unknown.
Appearances
Trivia
- To create the set, models previously used on other sets were used, such as:
- The lower bridge reuses the model for the Viaduct on the Main Line.
- The wing walls of the steel bridge and the signal box are reused from those at Wellsworth.
- Though referred to as "the Three Bridges" in concept art, there are only two bridges actually present on the set.
- The location was inspired by the Triple Crossing in Richmond, Virginia, USA.
