Railroad truss bridge just east of US 75 on the north side of Dallas

[bugo]

I was driving along US 75 towards downtown Dallas a couple of years back and took an exit to get something to drink.  I turned left off of SB 75 and saw a railroad truss bridge just east of the freeway.  Does anyone in the area know where this bridge is?  I don't remember which exit it was.

I can't think of any truss bridges near US 75 North.

It would help if you could be more specific about the location. Was it in Dallas, south of IH 635 LBJ Freeway? Was it in the north suburbs - Richardson, Plano, Allen? Was it in the distant suburbs like McKinney? How far from the freeway?

The railroad closest to the freeway was the old Houston & Texas Central, and it was converted into the DART Red Line light rail. All the bridges on the route are modern (no trusses). There could possibly be an old truss bridge north of Plano on that railroad alignment.

There actually is one that was kept.  It spans White Rock Creek just northeast of the US 75/Royal Lane exit.  It now makes up the northbound track of the Red Line for DART's light rail.

(the angle is actually east of the track, on a side street called Vanguard Way--no clear GSV angle from US 75, but the back of the Conn's store at 75/Royal can be seen in the distance)

EDIT:::: oops, didn't realize I'd used the same linkie for both the aerial and street view.

Is this it? I found a pretty cool photo of a bridge with the skyline behind it.

Yes, cool pic, but no.  That's west of downtown along the UP/Amtrak line over the Trinity River north of I-30.

I honestly don't remember.  I think it was south of TX 121.
