Your main concern should be how those I beams are connected to the embankment.
If they've been there since the 40s, I'd have to imagine that they've done as much settling into the earth as they're going to do. But yea, not too sure I'd try driving a loaded log truck over it.
ETA: If those are W12 beams with a 30' span and your estimated load is close, you're not gonna wanna try it.

Coming down that steep in bankment is going to put a lot of force on that initial step onto the bridge. Better go slow
