This standardized Pratt Through Truss crosses the Little Walnut River north of Douglass, Kansas.
Built in 1897, the five-panel, pin connected Pratt Through truss features a single short span.
Similar structures can be seen around the Santa Fe system. The bridge sits on stone piers that were later encased in concrete.
In addition to the main span, the bridge also contains several trestle approach spans on either side.
Overall, the bridge remains in good condition. Preventative maintenance has occurred around the joints, hopefully preserving this bridge for years to come.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the common truss design.
