Is this bridge still standing?

Dave, yes the bridge is still standing but it has since been modified with a pedestrian-friendly deck and observation platform built above it. Nearly all of the Georgetown Branch is open as a rail trail.

FYI, this trestle is in the process of being removed, as of Jan 12, 2019, to make way for the new Purple Line light rail project. The first 5 or 6 bents have already been cut down and removed. The rest is not long for this world.
