Viaduct scenes start at 2:44. Their emphasis is their drone flying skills, not the viaduct. But you do get some new views of a viaduct.

This is a more traditional drone video of a viaduct. There is a train at 4:07.

Many of the photos show that the girders over the towers are shallower than the girders between the towers. This view shows that the 90' span is over the creek. Not only is the 90' span girder deeper than the rest, but they also use deep girders over the two adjacent towers.

YouTube offered this 6:55 video. I didn't watch it.
