Wow. Unless another is discovered abandoned in the woods somewhere, this would be the only bedstead truss in the entire state!

It's definitely a pinned Pratt bedstead James... Another piece of great detective work my friend! ;-)

according to the pics on the linked website, this bridge looks like a bedstead pony, but the pics are hard to make out. Help here?
