I could fit four gallons of milk into the panniers, and a gallon

Oops! I *thought* something didn't feel right. A gallon weighs
*eight* pounds, so I doubt that the bike has ever weighed more than
seventy pounds.

Seventy pounds is still a lot to lift over a railroad track. I
usually lift one end at a time, if I need to cross tracks after
shopping.

But milk is heavier then water :-)
Whole milk weighs in the neighborhood of 8.6 lbs/gal. Depending, of
course, on the solids content.
