Taken from blueprints supplied by the Florida East Coast Railway Company. My thanks to them for their generous cooperation. These figures are for the instruction of fine-scale modelers. Stresses are given in 1000 #.
Pluses indicate compression; minuses indicate tension. Values with an "x" prefix (printed in red) indicate maximum dead load with the bridge moving. Values with an asterisk (cyan) indicate maximum dead load plus 20% of impact load. Values with an "o" (blue) indicate wind plus traction.
