Just as an aside: I inquired how much CMR would charge to build a bridge kit for me and it was over $1,000. Just in case anyone is contemplating that route. That put this bridge back into the build it myself someday realm- very quickly! Looking forward to following this thread as more comes in. Beautiful work in the pics.
I had a similar situation in which Tomar industries offered to build a working (operating lights) signal bridge for me. The price was fair, considering the labor, but still much more than I was willing to spend.
The interesting thing in this situation is how CMR would ship the finished product to you without any breakage.
