Abstract:Current levels of available resources to maintain and preserve the Pennsylvania short-line railroad (SLRR) bridge infrastructure require that important priority decisions be made on an annual basis. The primary objective of this study was to establish a reliable database of Pennsylvania SLRR bridges and to develop a risk-based bridge prioritization algorithm. A bridge survey of Pennsylvania SLRR owners and operators was conducted to develop a bridge database that would be as complete and accurate as possible given the available time and resources. The proposed algorithm provides a tool for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to use in making more effective maintenance and preservation resource allocation decisions for these structures.
