Between 1954 and 1957, railroad en- gineers took advantage of continued re- search by the Association of American Railroads and the experience of high- way bridge engineers.3'4 They designed and constructed still longer spans, using primarily slabs and boxes. The structures had waterproofing, ballast and track placed directly on the slab or box.
