We have a local 1884 Petit iron truss (2 span, each 170 feet) to be replaced by a new span by PADOT. Newspaper says old bridge to be DONATED to anyone that will take it apart and use it in historic context. It is pin-connected, a bit worn, but still in service today. It's a road bridge with a light limit on it but it might be possible to rerate it. Yeah, I know its not a railroad bridge, but like people say, context, context, context.....

This bridge is two blocks from me. If anybody is actually interested (or forwards this to somebody that is) I can get detail shots & info. Contact information is in the article.

Warren PA truss bridge offered for free
