"1904 lattice through truss over Starrucca Creek. A parallel plate girder bridge was added in 1929. It appears that the truss was abandoned prior to the abandonment of the line itself." [BridgeHunter]
It was renovated for use by the D&H Trail in 2019-20. [B&T]
This bridge is just a little over a 1000' upstream from the famous Erie Starrucca Viaduct. In fact, the viaduct went over the D&H.

| 1 of 4 photos posted by Bridges & Tunnels The Starrucca Creek Bridge, a unique quadrangular lattice through truss, was erected over Starrucca Creek on the Delaware & Hudson Railroad in northeast Pennsylvania. The quadrangle lattice through truss was built in 1904, and a parallel plate girder bridge was added in 1929. The route between Carbondale and Lanesboro, including this bridge, was abandoned in 1982. The unique crossing has since been renovated and incorporated into a scenic rail-to-trail. More on this bridge can be found at http://bridgestunnels.com/location/starrucca-creek-bridge/ A history of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad Penn Division can be found at my partner site, Abandoned, at https://abandonedonline.net/.../delaware-hudson-railway.../ Jarrett Spamiels: I thought the Penn division was Closed by Guilford in 86.Bridges & Tunnels shared |

We can see from the exposed eastern abutment that the girder bridge has been removed.
