I edited a newgrf, how do I turn it into a working newgrf?

Today I found a newgrf that I didn't like the colours of. So I used grfwizard to decode it and get the png file of the sprite. I then edited that sprite file to my liking but now I have no idea what to do. I have an Nfo file, and 1 png file that seems to be empty and the edited png file. I tried messing around with grfcodec and the encoding option on grfwizard but I can't seem to work it out. Thank you in advance.

You may check the tutorial on the tt-wiki on how to save paletted files.

Thank you!

It's actually your suspended subway grf that I'm trying to edit! I really love the idea of it but I don't like the green so I was trying to make it more into a modern white/grey colour kind of thing. If you have any version of the newgrf that looks like that I'd love to have it. I also read you were planning on making more of those bridges.

I'm not the author of the bridge, Tony Pixel is.
