LC: Railroad bridges were built to last, but how long? How old is the MacArthur bridge in St. Louis? How old is the Merchant's bridge? How old is the KCS bridge north of St. Louis? How old is the Tennessee River bridge north of Chattanooga? How old is the Illmo bridge or the bridge at Pine Bluff? How old are the Port Perry and Ohio Connecting bridges in Pittsburgh? How old is the former P&LE bridge at Monaca, Pa? The next question should be how long were they meant to last? The best maintained rail bridge in North America is the Huey P. Long bridge in New Orleans which was completed in 1932. Keep the faith, but I think now is the time to consider a balanced surface transportation policy that involves all methods of ground transport. I feel we've been lucky so far as rail bridges are concerned.
