Mengo Bridge
For those interested in Model Railroading, this appears to be the bridge that Atlas O used as the prototype for their (misindentified) O scale Pratt Truss bridge. Though that model comes in both single- and double-track configurations, the trusses and cross members match Mengo bridge exactly. I have a double-track version on my layout at home.
