bridge over Lawyers Canyon has a section missing out of it. Hard to tell
however, it may just be a weird angle. With the rails coming up, are any of the
big bridges going to be removed, or has rails-to-trails expressed interest in
keeping the bridges for a trail?

Matt,

That's bridge 40 and on Memorial day we parked 23 motorcars on it for a group
photo of our annual run. The rails extend about a hundred feet to the Ferdinand
side and then nothing but roadbed.
The rail has yet to be removed from the taller bridges. #50 in Cottonwood, 48
over Stockney Creek, and #46 all have rail on them.
The other 5 bridges are bare.
As far as I know, Rails to trails isn't interested and in fact, the second
bridge east (track direction) of Cottonwood has been removed, probably by the
adjacent land owner.
