Ed:  Any idea why they didn't use a ballasted deck on the through girder span to match the rest?

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Just got a look at the absolutely jaw-dropping M420B and PGE work train equipment people did.

With the right lighting and a natural photo backdrop, viewers probably would be able to tell the different between the model and prototype photos.
