Just a general question for someone to have a stab at answering...when 
railroads were abandoned here in the US why were trestles cut down and not left 
in situ ?  Was it a liability issue or were the materials that valuable. It 
seems such an awful waste to build lines such as the branch to Gardiner MT that 
i was exploring the other evening used for a mere 50 years, abandoned and all 
the bridges chopped down.

Thanks 
Mike Pannell
