| A sturdy truss bridge is located
on Main Street in Sellersville, PA. Some people also call this bridge
the "trestle bridge". |
|
This structure is found over the
Reading Railroad line that runs between Philadelphia and Bethlehem, PA. |
 |
|
 |
| Large girders made the truss supports.
(note the "X" shapes) |
|
Most of the truss supports are
triangular in shape for structural support. |
 |
|
 |
| The truss structure is framed by large steel
beams. |
|
This is a view of the cement walkway that extends
beyond the bridge structure on both sides of the bridge. |
 |
|
 |
| Evidence of much wear over time can be seen
at the roadbed level near the trusses. |
|
Deteriorating cement and metal are a sign of
the bridge's age. |
