It looks like a type of subdivided warren truss.
Thanks. Here's a closer shot of it.
I hope I can get one in HO scale.
It is very appropriate for the mid 1950's.
I was take this picture last year in Viet-Nam, of a similar bridge build in those years.
Check out the Atlas 18" Through Truss Bridge. Atlas # 593.

May not be perfect match, but looks close.

Zoegraf,
Try making one yourself. I made this from small wood pieces I got from Home depot.
The curved arches could be made by cutting a plywood template to the desired curve with a jigsaw then take the wood for your bridge hold it over a boiling tea kettle to "steam it". Then tack it to your curved plywood template and let it dry out. I may take a few tries to get it to your liking. Not the detail of the brass options but cost allot less. If you make a template for the structure on paper and tack it to a wood base and cover with wax paper, you will be able to see the lines on the paper template and glue the supports exactly as you like them and the template can be reused for the other side of the bridge to make a perfect match. I used those free paint mixing sticks to make the corner braces on my bridge then sanded them thin with a belt sander.

I beleive Central valley has a kit of the bridge you want and without the 400$ price tag.
Can anyone identify what type of bridge this is and if anyone might make something similar to it. I have no idea how old it is, but I'm sure it would be appropriate for the mid 1950's.
Looks like that shot was taken in Sackville, NB.
It was. Just with I had a closer shot of it.
I may have a couple but iirc they were taken in the rain. I'll post them up if I can find them.
