re: OB Engineers: Steel Beams to Make a Bridge

Trying to keep the budget in mind, I don't see a way that you will be able to span 75 clear feet for less than the price you were quoted. With that being said i would also be hesitant to trust an old rail car with supporting 10 tons at that span, but that may just be the conservative engineer in me. Perhaps another OBer will chime in with some more insight into other options. If no answers come by the morning I will take a look when I get to my steel manual tomorrow.

Those railcar bridges are the tits. They are rated for 180,000 pounds. I have run hundreds of fully loaded log trucks over them. Even tri axel drop decks hauling D7 Dozers overweight. No problem.
