This is a very unusual bridge! I have a hard time believing it is 100 feet long, as that would make each panel 25 feet. The upper struts are very strange, with only one being perpendicular to the trusses. The other two are diagonal with no countering. A unique bridge that almost looks like it was fashioned out of some leftover parts. I would like to see it preserved in part because it is so unusual.
This bridge is scheduled for replacement in the 2010-2011 year.

Yeah.....I guess the railroads did have a strange way of doing things!
