AREMA should not be used as it is too heavy.

AREMA does publish guidance for railroad structures (including bridges) and light rail applications.
That having been said, other transportation codes/standards should also be consulted, such as AASHTO's LRFD Bridge specifications, especially if there is a federal funding component.
