I find this bridge interesting as it is listed as an 80 foot Deck Girder which would make it one of the longer, if not the longest, such bridge on the D&RGW narrow gauge.

Looks to be to perhaps be a standard gauge bridge that was moved to the Narrow Gauge to replace an older bridge.

Some questions

1) Where did the deck girder bridge come from?
2) When did it get installed on the Narrow Gauge?
3) What type of bridge did it replace?
4) What is the height of the girder?

At this point I can answer only questions #2 and #3

2. It and the concrete abutments were installed April 1925.
3. Replaced a 152 foot long pile trestle.

Presently I do not have other info at hand.
