Bridge Builder - The unofficial homepage
The concept of Bridge Builder is simple and brilliant at the same time. Your task is to build a bridge which has to support a passing train and stay undamaged. Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to stay undamaged, the train just has to pass to the other side safely... Each bridge element is $100 and your budget is limited. The process is simulated using a fairly realistic physics engine and rendered in real time.

Bridge Construction Set
Bridge Construction Set is about building a bridge that doesn't break, although watching your bridge creation break and plunge a train into the watery depths below can be half the fun. In Bridge Construction Set you design and build bridges and then stress test them to see how your creations hold up under pressure. When test vehicles pass over your bridge and make it safely across you know you've succeeded. If they plummet into the river you know you need to go back to the drawing board.
The robust physics deployed in Bridge Construction Set let you build a unlimited variety of bridges. Try your hand at giant suspension bridges, complex drawbridges, multi-level train and automobile bridges and everything in between. The 3D graphics allow you to view your bridge from any angle including a first person view - it's like being strapped to the front of the train when your bridge is first tested..

High Speed 1
HS1 is the railway between St Pancras in London and the Channel Tunnel and connects with the international high-speed routes between London and Paris, and London and Brussels.
High-speed domestic trains also use the railway, providing a much improved commuter service between London and Kent. The railway is also capable of carrying freight traffic.
HS1 Ltd is the owner of the stations along the route, including the magnificently refurbished St Pancras International.
HS1 Ltd is jointly owned by Borealis Infrastructure and Ontario Teachers Pension Plan, two Canadian pension funds.
