Rock Island Lattice Through Truss Bridge Over Old Elm Fork Trinity River Channel
This 10 Panel Rivet-Connected Lattice (Quadruple Warren) Through Truss Bridge was constructed by the Chicago Rock Island and Gulf Railroad (CRI&G) in 1903 on the line connecting Fort Worth and Dallas Texas.
The bridge crosses Elm Fork which merges with the West Fork further downstream to form the Trinity River. Elm Fork was diverted upstream in 1930 for flood control but this channel continues to serve as a primary conduit for storm water drainage.
