Bridges and tanks

Just starting a new game of HTTR with the new patch and I am a little confused about which bridges can be used by tanks.
As I understand it all light, medium and heavy road bridges can be used by tanks but the type of bridge affects the movement rate. So tanks can move slowly across light bridges but faster across heavy bridges.
The manual says that motorised units ( such as tanks) cannot use railway bridges. However I just managed to get a squadron of tanks across a rail bridge. Not sure what is going on here ?
Could somebody please clarify this for me.

The map/scenario designer determines the move rates for terrain. It's possible to set the motorised move rate of a rail bridge to something other than zero. So I recommend you check out the move rates. You can do this in game by right clicking over a bridge and it will show you the context menu with the types of terrain under the mouse pointer and their respective move rates for motorised and non-motorised units. This overrides any advice in the Manual.
