The NBI doesn't even give a date of construction so I don't know where the 1900 came from. It looks more like ca. 1930 to me.

As far as the diamond tread stuff goes, you could note it in the comments but I don't think you'll see enough of them to warrant a category.

Is this style of construction reasonable for 1900?

Also: while the deck is primarily wood, the wearing surface where tires go is steel (diamond plate). I'm not sure how to edit that on the bridgereports site, or if it can be done.

I crossed it yesterday, took a couple pics but they don't show anything different from the photos already posted.
