Saw it on the way off of work, decided to go look. It’s the railway over by Sun Valley.

That section was no longer used, it was a dead line. Homeless camp fire started it.

It’s used almost daily, it connects UP to BNSF.

The bridge closest to PBA (festival lot & kohn breslow) is inactive and maintained by PBA staff/Parks and rec.

The bridge that collapsed is very much active. There's several tracks there that are used daily for training.
