      Holy macaroni, that's a big yard!
      The foreground tracks are the mains, right?

      Yes, they are the mains. The tracks in the lower left corner.

      How long is the entire bridge structure?

      There are two sections to the N scale bridge: 23 inches and 13 inches. So, in scale feet, 306 feet and 173 feet. I had never computed that before as the model length is necessitated by the yard track arrangement and my failure to plan ahead. I do have pictures of the prototype and the longest span seems to be slightly too long; the short span is probably okay. It would have been better to make it into three separate spans. The prototype consisted of 6-8 span lengths, each span about 200 feet.
