I have never admitted to being a truss expert and never will, but the through truss is a pinned pratt, as for the pony truss, I'm not really sure since it only has two panels. Its pinned as well. The Bridge does still exist.

I've been taking pictures at various different bridge sites in the areas surrounding Sangamon county and I was in Tazewell county on 02 February 14 and took about 20 pictures of each bridge with a 16 MP camera. I noticed that this particular bridge was missing a lot of pieces of it's deck, as you can see in the photos.
