Camelback style (5-slope) Polygonal Warren pony truss.Very long and very cool!
As always... Good detective work Nick!
hmmm...true Warren?.....
this sucker is loooooong, with one approach precariously hanging in the air and it's abutment several yards in the distance
WARREN PONY ...this one was fun to get to, great elevation off low-water creek, photogenic little spot....save it!!!
If this one still stands, I am curious about what type of bridge it might be. A 90 foot span is fairly long for a pony truss especially one that might be pre 1900 given the Kansas default date of circa 1910.
Well, there is a bridge-like shadow in the creek. I had been assuming this one is lost but maybe there is hope. Montgomery County has an overall good record for preserving the majority of their historic bridges. Hopefully they will continue to do so.
The 2010 county highway map shows it present but closed.
I am glad to see that this one is still standing. I had originally thought that it was probably lost but here it is.
