Uses of Plate Girder Bridges

For tracks over a roadway, even when clearance is not a problem, the railroad would prefer to use a through girder bridge. This type is better able to keep a derailed car on the bridge, and provides protection (for the vehicles on the roadway) in the event that anything falls off of a train car while on the bridge. It also allows better access for maintenance of the track and roadbed without interfering with traffic below. <br />Regards- Richard W.
