Do those 4 wheelers damage the ballast profile?

DJ 161 feet is high but the Poughkeepsie RR bridge when it was in use was over 200 feet high. I never went across it as an engineer but some of my follow engineers said you could not see the bridge from the side cab window. Now that was scary.

Don't know about any other bridges, Spokane's Latah Creek Viaduct is 175ft high in places and 1395ft long: with a wye switch 2/3rds across going West. I hopped a few freights in my dumber and younger days and you could not see any portion of the bridge unless you hung out over the side of the car you were riding: in my case, double stack well cars.
