That is not the problem with our bridge. The Shaky Bridge goes OVER the railroad tracks, rather than under the bridge. the overhead height is unlimited, but the bridge is narrow, and the approaches are not straight. The limitations are the weight-bearing capacity of the tiny bridge and the fact that there is no room to turn entering and leaving the bridge.
