There is no way this was built in 1905, Bailey trusses were a World War II invention. Bailey trusses are still built in the 21st Century, and they are nearly identical to the World War II bridges. The Bailey trusses that are of most interest and have potential National Register eligibility are those that date to the 1940s and 1950s. Some examples from this period may also be World War II surplus, which would give added significance. Sometimes the date will be stamped on the truss members. Otherwise, the only way to ID the date for these bridges is to see how "new" they look.
