According to my level of ignorance, that number is from the FRA regulation.
Understandably that at that time, the FRA was not ready to consider modern design principles, and all they were using as a measure of crashworthiness is that strength number.
To BOB2's comment, one could be overly simplistic, and say that Caltrans is unable to learn as long as they let the show run by consultants.
