It figures that the PRR would use its own standard.  Note that the YV 2-6-0s have an axle loading on drivers of 40,000 lbs -- or E40.Quentin -- the photos inserted above show the SECOND Quebec bridge, which was vastly heavier than the first (failed) bridge.  As noted by Paul, the center suspended truss section fell while it was being lifted off barges to its final position due to a construction error.  Also, the narrative at the linked site is an account of the collapse of the first bridge (even though it pictures the second), which isn't very helpful.S.
