That cross member was removed and I think wire-tied from the top of the moving part of the span so it didn't have a chance to impact cars rolling underneath. I forget exactly how, but he also raised the entire bridge (or lowered the track - take you pick of how you would like to look at it) to add clearance.
It doesn't take much to hit here. I found a K-Line smoking caboose had it's smokestack hit.
I'll have to see if I may have a bookmark of a link on another computer later. I just did a search and didn't find it here.
