Yes indeed, Ed, and that truss chart you linked to is a very nice 
one.  I have the isometric view with all the component names printed 
out and taped to the side of my PC at work.

Bridge 0.91 was a six-panel, pin-connected Pratt truss.  No riveted 
panels at all, pin-connected end-to-end including a swing hanger at 
the expansion end rather than roller shoes.

All the Q truss bridges I've seen in person (and that is only 5 or 6) 
have been Pratt trusses.  The mainline bridges are partially riveted 
and really beefy compared to Bridge 0.91.
