Would we get the lighter 1887 loads and the cooler weather mentioned in the article too?

- bell-cot 11mo agoNo - but that 1887 bridge did not fail under heavier modern loads. And realistically, sourcing load-bearing members as weak as the 1887-tech cast iron might cost far more than using "average quality" modern reproductions. Temperature only seems to be an issue because of the now-seized bearings.
