Upper cord cast iron?
Same builder?: http://bridgehunter.com/pa/franklin/paxton-run/
Interesting bridge. This strikes me as a Childs or Long truss which are normally associated with wooden covered structures. The rolled members and connections strike me as a Morrison/CBW structure. He had built wooden trusses however most known early Morrison designs involve bowstring or inverted bowstring designs.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Also, I have doubts about its location.
Childs or Long pony truss is a real stretch. I have seen a few very early Pratt ponies with vertical endposts that used doubled diagonal members and counters in every panel.
No evidence that this has any correlation to Morrison or Columbia BW.
