Who is handling the permitting?
I did some bridges and a culvert in south Florida a couple of years ago. If
I remember correctly, I think there's some simplified provisions for the
culverts. You have to meet the specified earth cover etc though.
I think FDOT's culvert program is also easily configurable to other loads.

Subject: Train Loading & Box Culvert Program
Two part question:
1) I have not worked on a railroad project in several years. When I did,
the design live load was the AREA Cooper E80. Is that still typically used?
Or is there a new and improved live load?
2) Can any recommend a cast-in-place box culvert program that will handle
custom live load - say for example, the AREA Cooper E80? All of the
programs that I have seen are specifically for AASHTO highway loads.
