The bridge is of a Metal 7 Panel Pin-Connected Pratt Through Truss, Fixed style. There is a pedestrian walkway attached to the bridge but it has been closed for some time now.
Parking is availible near the coordinates of the waymark. Be sure to checkout the other waymarks in the area because there is a fairly rare statue not to far away. Please remember that train bridges are for trains not people and that crossing the bridge on foot is a no no.
