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.
