Patrick O'Donnell commented on the above post
Reminds me of this well preserved fine specimen in the Avis and Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania vicinity over the Pine Creek.
Art Suckewer: Patrick O'Donnell The Maine one is a shorter but wider version by the same company. The Jersey Shore bridge is the ultra long Warren truss (diagonal) internal structure version (I think one of four remaining).
