Love it too, in high school in the late 1970's there was an abandoned home on that road that we thought was haunted, the occasional squeal of the windmill would get us running away, ha; we loved that bridge and think we had more access to it then.

This photo shows that the two longer spans are pin connected and were built in 1900. Other photos show that the shorter span was built in 1906. I wonder if the 1906 span replaced a part of the wood trestle that got washed out during a flood.
