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

 

just another couple of photo's.
