Why do they have the two extra railway lines (in between the main lines) on bridges?

Do you mean the guard rails placed parallel to regular running rail along areas of the bridge?
These have the effect of keeping the wheels of rolling stock in alignment in case of derailment(making sure the derailed train will not turn over).
It also helps to minimize damage to the bridge and allow easier post-accident cleanup.

I freaked out a bit with the face-level blowtorch, but I expect the perspective made it look much closer to the other guy's head than it actually was.

Hey, it ran for 36 years. Probably because there was no alternative.
