A steel bridge can still burn. Some years back, a double track plate girder bridge over a river here burned...that is, the ties burned. A good wind helped it to cross the bridge and burned every tie on it. A freight train flying up on it would be in pretty serious trouble, but as it was near a yard, we knew about it quickly. Things were totally fouled up for several days until it was re-tied. [The big delay was shipping in the needed ties, as bridge ties aren't normally stockpiled nearby...]
