Historic Significance Rating (HSR)

This bridge is a traditionally composed pin-connected railroad truss bridge. It appears to retain good historic integrity. If the ugly signs mounted on the bridge were removed, it would be a lot nicer looking. This is actually a nice looking bridge, and the signs really detract from that.

There is another railroad bridge next to this one, further to the east. That bridge does not have the same appearance, but it is much hard to get to and is not currently covered on this website.
