Plate Girder spans are moved and reused all the time on FRA railroads and if you're reusing a bridge originally intended for FRA type service on a subway line, the Cooper's Loading* is much less so there should be no problem.

*Cooper's Loading; a system for determining the load capacity of railroad bridges.
