A private research library in Chicago houses the CB&Q bridge records from approximately 1918. Finding information on this bridge is a priority for myself. I suspect this bridge is newer than 1892, judging by the unique design. The upper connections are riveted, while the lower connections are pinned. I've only ever seen a handful of bridges which are of hybrid design like this. I would estimate this bridge to have been constructed between 1900 and 1910. The missing approach plaque also appears to be a King Bridge plaque.

Here is a long-exposure shot of the BNSF Rock River Bridge from November 2015.
