You would think BN would have insisted counterweights & other big/heavy 
hardware come by rail (they have special duty flats) as would used on a very 
rail-accessible spot!

According to the morning HAWKEYE newspaper the piece on the truck is one of the 
two counter weights that will raise and lower the bridge

I have posted six pictures to the bridge file of how all the pieces of the 
bridge have come in to burlington. the trailer of this truck has 15 axles under 
it with each axle rated at 15,000lbs. then the tractor has three more axles 
under its rear end plus the steering axle in front.someone awhile back ask how 
the pieces were coming to burlington and this how its been done so far.right 
now i don't know what this peice is but i will find out and let everybody know
