The truss just to the north is an old alignment of US 169.  Is this a toppled bridge abutment?  The roads on either side line up with it.  This bridge will be featured at the Oologah meet.

Not being from the area, I cannot confirm it. But, you are right in that it does seem to line up with a possible even older alignment. But, it also looks narrow enough on the top to have been for a a rail crossing. I'd be curious to see if anyone can sure this up.

When you come to a fork in the road... TAKE IT.

Either late September or October.  A date hasn't been set.
