Thank you for the reply, Nelson.  I'll be modeling just pre-WWII.  But I'm also writing a report on the bridge as part of my documenting the Ashland-Schuyler branch line, and I'm just looking for a typical Q truss bridge diagram so I can format my upcoming drawing accordingly--style of drawing, linestyles used, type and amount of information (angles, tiebars, lacing, floorbeams, etc) included, etc.

Bridge 0.91 was a 132-foot, six-panel Pratt truss and based on my measurements of "sister" bridge 66.66 over the Republican River, was 25 feet even truss height.  It's interesting that the bridge was pin-connected end-to-end, with the expansion end suspended from swing hangers rather than riding on shoes.

Randy
