This small Warren Through Truss bridge crosses Shoal Creek near Kingston.
Built in 1931 when the Rock Island built this new line through the area, this truss is heavily built up.
This truss is one of the most built up in the area. It has riveted connections and a massive A-Frame portal. The bridge sits on concrete substructures.
Originally built with trestle approaches, it currently is approached by precast concrete spans. It is likely that the bridge was also rehabilitated at this time.
The author ranks this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the truss design.
