There is a Bridge Module besides of Drainage Module in Power Rail Track. I still use SS2. I can not any of bridge tutorial or just an example.
The simple answer to your question is yes. You can place drainage design elements in plan using the Bentley Storm and Sanitary and then either project these elements to an existing track design profile, or create a draiange design profile along the length of the pipes and pits. This is good for presentation for drainage information, but I still do my design and checking on a MS excel spreadsheet to make sure everything is correct. It is possible to design a drainage layout in the software, but I have not got it to work successfully as the software is more for roads design than for rail design.
See the attached image showing the drainage tab and the drainage tools available in BRT/PRT.See also the attached Bentley PDF showing how to place drainage elements. It is for InRoads - but the principle is the same.
You could also look at Bentley Subsurface Utility modelling, but I have not used it so cant speak to its usefulness.
