Warren Truss Bridge I spotted

That's really nice - Thanks for posting

Very cool swing bridge Andy. The open house is awesome. I'm gonna follow this in hopes that I don't miss the next pics. I can't quite make out the lower section of steps. Are they in the diagonal beam? Next to it? etc.  The opposite bank looks closer

Any canoe or boat rentals nearby?   If not, try a semi-truck tire's tube 

What a modeling opportunity! Great pictures! I'd love to see more pictures of it.

fantastic thankyou

Thanks Guys...It is in Hazelhurst, GA...about 100 miles from me.  I googled it and found more pics of it...here

I definitely need to get more pics of it.  These are outstanding though.  From my perspective, it was actually easier to gain access to the tracks to the right.  There were a lot more trestles to the left than right.

I just loved the rust/patina on this bridge...it is a perfect modeling opportunity.

WOW!!  Outstanding photos Andy.  I'm saving this one.

Thanks Nick--I love the new pictures I found on the net...but what I especially like about them is the lack of rust compared to the pictures I took...so it took roughly 6 years to go from a good bit of rust to mostly rust....Wish it was still used as a swinging bridge.  I can't find any pictures of it in operation.

Great find!!!

And terrific photos!

Well done,

George

Thanks George...I am planning to go back this fall when the leaves are changing colors and take some more photos.

Went back to this spot today..to take a few more pictures.  Ever since I started restoring my truck I knew I wanted to get some pics of it near this bridge...

Super photos, and one nice truck! I know little about the operation of these bridges, and what Adriatic referred to as the "open House" is really interesting. I wonder what those roof details are--what looks to be like some kind of actuating lever and a drain pipe...

Longsteps forever!

I agree...long beds rule!  And stepsides have always been my favorite!

Nice photos - thanks for posting!

Roll The Dice, is that a 1959 or 1960 Chevy step side Apache pickup truck?

Hi John, it is a 1965 C10 stepside with the long bed...or long wheel base.   You are right that 1960 and 1961 had C10 Apache's.  My dad had an Apache from 1960 when I was a baby.  It was a snout nose which I love the look of.  Here is a picture from 1968 of the truck in the background and my 3 older brothers in the yard...
