In 1908 trains began to circulate through the "Buenos Aires Midland Railway" ("Ferrocarril Midland", or FCM).

This route is now being created for MSTS/ORTS.

But it has a very unique attraction: the Alsina Bridge, formerly called the Uriburu Bridge, currently with a third name.

This bridge was inaugurated in 1938 and is intimately linked to tango. The most famous song that was dedicated to him, reads:

Quote

Puente Alsina, que ayer fuera mi regazo,
de un zarpazo la avenida te alcanzó.
Viejo puente, solitario y confidente,
sos la marca que, en la frente,
el progreso le ha dejado
al suburbio rebelado
que a su paso sucumbió.
(Benjamín Tagle Lara)


Quote

Puente Alsina, yesterday it was my lap,
with just a swipe the avenue reached you.
Old bridge, lonely and confident,
You're the mark that, on the forehead,
the progress has left here
to the rebellious suburb
that when advancing he succumbed.

Now, I'm modeling this bridge, for the project: https://drive.google...WBe8dUTPtQDT6_/

Currently, the scale is not 1:1, it's greater, because until yesterday I thought that, when wanting to work with the tool "Template" in TSM, with small shapes, this is deformed. Today I understood that my mistake was that I was not respecting the central axis of the project.

Consequently, I will make the bridge, then I will copy it and, to the copy, I will scale it to where it corresponds.
