So from last time this was posted and then deleted...
This original image is quite deceptive. There are two bridges here. The foreground is an abandoned siding, the bridge the train is on is hidden by the abandoned one. Here's a couple better images: https://www.flickr.com/photos/125657552@N06/51026741773 https://www.flickr.com/photos/19531332@N03/40189871100 https://www.flickr.com/photos/jcnarup513/47932302402 The pylon appears to have been cracked for at least a decade. No idea when the chain was added.
I'm not sure if this OP is farming karma or fomenting fear in the midst of tragedies, but neither is good.
[edit: spellings, thanks]

However, unlike road bridges, which are the responsibility of public entities, railroad bridges are the responsibility of the private railroad companies that own or operate them, including the responsibility to maintain records of bridge inspections and repairs.
