Re the bridge at Plock:

Good catch.  You are correct about Korolkov.  As to what happened to the bridge between 1910 & Oct 1914, I find this passage in
 ВОСТОЧНО-ПРУССКАЯ операция - СБОРНИК документov (East Prussian Operation -- Collection of Documents) at p. 50

"Warsaw Bridges - one rail and two for wheeled transport, at Novogeorgievsk - one for wheeled traffic (It can be adapted to railroad), at Plock and Vlotslavsk - on pontoons, both shall be destroyed in the first days of mobilization." (translated from the Russian).

Also during the Lodz operation German troops were ordered to Plock to build there a reinforced bridge but were prevented by ice floes.

Some VI Siberian Corps units did cross at Plock so it appears that the Russians were able to build a temporary bridge.  The rule allowing engineers to bridge the Vistula thus appears to be a good simulation of the situation at Plock during the campaign.
