I can not recall that anyone have mentioned the excellent website historicbridges.org before on this forum.

I was looking for prototype images of small road truss bridges, and found several hundred interesting ones on this site. Lots of pictures, and a lot of them have very high resolution.

Here is one of my favourite finds:

I've had that site bookmarked for a few years now.   
Your link won't work because of the quote (") mark at the end.   Need to erase that.
Some good references there.
This is another good site: http://bridgehunter.com/

Not truss bridges, but an excellent set of photos of road bridges made from old rails, from southern Sweden: http://www.jvmv2.se/forum/index.php?id=136672
