Josh,
That is a sweet looking bridge!! It kinda reminds me of one on the former CSX line coming south from the Saginaw yard, over the Cass River. That one didn't stand nearly as tall, but the supporting structure was very similar. It, too, was all wood construction. I remember coming south towards Flint after some serious rainfall with the river water level near the flood plain level. It would actually touch the ties. That bridge was built in the 1930's, I think.
