This type of bridge is an example of a steel pin-connected Pratt through truss bridge. These bridges, once a familiar sight in Montana, were constructed in abundance between 1888 and 1915. Utilizing innovative pin-connections developed by the railroads in the 1840s, they not only streamlined construction but also made this style of bridge remarkably cost-effective.
