I think this is a repurposed former Railroad truss. Notice the pin-connections are at deck level rather than below. This is a very narrow bridge for a one-lane bridge. Piers appear to be of newer design than the bridge, which also suggests this bridge was moved in, after being retired at original site.

Old Negro Creek Bridge
The center pier, or brace is not a feature of pony truss bridges. The bridge should be able to carry its design weight without any central bracing. This was added at some time during the life of the bridge to compensate for some problem, or to attempt to carry more weight than the design would allow.

There has been a fire on the wood deck of the bridge. This seems to be a popular sport among the youth in rural areas.
