All that put together I'd bet still doesn't match up as far as a weight test on the bridge as to when we went over with 7 and a (mostly) full tank car back in the summer.

It was a standard wide-gauge bridge after all ... A GP7 beats anything we can throw at it by a significant margin.

Bridge was tested when 56,000# went across it, when Jeff was hauling and fixing the ditch south of the bridge. And it was designed for standard guage so it will hold up anything we can put across it.

The bridge would even hold up if we were to decide to re-gauge the railroad to standard, as the W&Q originally intended.
