This single span through truss crosses Stranger Creek in Linwood, Kansas.
The truss is a 5-panel riveted Baltimore Through Truss. It was built in 1905, as Union Pacific double tracked this line.
It is a typical Union Pacific design. Union Pacific built many similar heavily built trusses during this era. Most were contracted by American Bridge Company of New York.
This structure is no different. It rests on concrete substructures. It is parallel to the closed Golden Road.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common nature of this bridge; as well as the newer design.
However, this should not detract from the fact that the bridge is still in great condition, and has a very good historical integrity.
The photo above is an oblique view from the east end. Because of the nature of this region, good overview photos of the bridge are extremely hard.
