The Cooper Rating system applied to timber bridges as well as iron and steel.  (It's just a method for estimating live load.)Many railroad timber bridges, particularly trestles, were engineered informally, based on experience and standard drawings and details.  If a Cooper Rating was ever applied it was only after the fact when someone wondered if the bridge would support a heavier locomotive.S, Hadid
