I'm not sure what you're asking.  This photo is of a Dash8-40CW and an SD70M-2 crossing a plate girder bridge in an urban area someplace.  This is not a trestle (mispelled in the caption as "trussle").

i checked the link it leads right to the trestle. hmmm i wanted to know what the R stood for that i seen on a trestle at frankford junvtion in Philadelphia pa.

Reading?

On a similar note, has anyone seen the deck girder in the Ardsley area with "LIONEL" stenciled on the side?

I was thinking the same thing but, i could be wrong. No i haven't seen it sorry.

Nope, sorry, no trestle at my end either.  Possibly you are pulling that out of your computer's cache.  An R on the trestle could be for Restricted Speed.  One under it could be for Restricted Height, although actual height in feet or metres is more common.

Growing older is mandatory but growing up is optional.

That's could be a possibility

i see the picture just fine, and in my opinion the "R" is just a faded, partially painted over ad. 
"PENN CENTRAL", perhaps?

I only see two bridges. No locos.

Both links take me to the plate girder bridge; no trestle!   Not sure what's wrong.

That  "R" is white  on black   paint and is on a lower layer of paint that has been overpainted in blue . But that definitely is a plate girder bridge , The rust patterns were interesting , I couldn't  figure out if it was some sort of mural or just rust until I zoomed in for a closer look. John II

Given the location at Frankford Jct., I think that it probably said "Reading".  That looks like an old Reading electrified service catenary bridge over the tracks.
