Another surprise at the end of our abandoned truss bridge tour, located right along the main road through Belmont, MS, right north of town. The bridge leads into cemetery and a couple of small local roads. Another bridge of nearly identical design existed several miles south of this until a couple of years ago, and at least two more still exist on the southern end of this old Illinois Central branch in Hackleburg and Haleyville, AL
