As information, CB&Q built the first pre-stressed concrete span used by any 
railroad in the United States.  Prestressing enabled a span to be shallower 
than a conventional span of the same length.

This span is in Bridge 38.64 on the old H&StJ, constructed in 1954 on a line 
change between the west end of Hunnewell and the Salt River bridge.  I'm 
guessing it's still in service.
