Vee,
I think your right!
What I found at the link provided was this.
A six span, single track structure with one span missing eighty feet over the Soulle river at Coutances.
This was the first opportunity for Company D of the 347th to employ the British unit construction railway bridge.
Using the special launching nose, the engineers launched a fifty-foot unit to span the arch opening.
Then they installed a timber strut just below the unit to resist thrust from adjacent arches carrying the weight of heavy locomotives.
Looks like this could be the one.
ps Vee could you e-mail me those photo's?
Thanks'
Peter
