Groove Girder Rail

[CivilStructural07]

I am analyzing a bridge with rails on it from the 1920s. The rails sit on I-beams, but I don't know anything about the rail strengths or physical properties. Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as a 7"-128# groove girder rail?

SlideRuleEra has lots of great resources on his/her (willing to bet His given the apparent seniority of the poster) and it would be a great place to start...
