I believe this the only camelback truss left in SE MN
I'm pretty sure this bridge was once on US-16, which was the predecessor to I-90 in Minnesota, based on the fact that it was on MN-16.

Good View of this bridge on bings bird's eye map feature
Went back to the 1990 listings of the NBI and it was listed. There are a TON of thru-truss bridges in this county... super lucky folks y'all are. In my parish (Rapides, Louisiana) we have two... and the historic one is doomed.
Bridge is still extant. Built 1910, abandoned 1976 and removed from MnDOT inventory 1995. Bridge and land are privately owned, but a sign on the road indicates people are welcome to visit, have a picnic, etc. Pony truss approach span was likely added after flooding washed out the south approach; photos from 1955 show the added span already in place. Take dirt road from TH 16, a couple miles west of Peterson, to access bridge.
