How does that compare with the installation of the new railway bridge at Penrith not so long ago?

Dunno, haven't seen it.

But these were for Peninsula Link here. Only weighed 95 tonnes.

One morning one fell off. Typically the ABC gets the story completely wrong. Truck hit nothing. The belly chain failed and the jinker went its own way. And, no, I wasn't the driver. Thankfully.

The Penrith rail bridge was complete, installed in something like 2 days but I don't recall its weight.

2500 tonnes - first time in Australia a bridge replacement was done like this although it’s quite common in the UK and Europe.
