That has to be a very recent picture. I was there this spring and the through truss was in place and intact, but had just received a significant downgrade in it's weight limit. It was one of a handfull of Berlin Const. products still in use.
The purists will be upset at the loss, but with only a single active track underneath, it could've easily been replaced with a simple box culvert. A new pony truss with that length and skew is a pleasant surprise.
