Ninnescah River Bridge
Posted May 31, 2007, by Robert L. Elder (Bass-tbn [at] ku [dot] edu)

A four span, 7 panel riveted Pratt through truss. Sumner County forbids standing on this bridge, thus both pictures, including the "barrel shot" were taken using a zoom lens and then cropped. Photos were taken in February of 2005
