It's a shame to see these old wooden trestles go. If it's damaged badly enough and they decide to replace it then they'll probably put up one of those steel-and-concrete trestles like they have at the south end of the Fraser River Bridge beside the Patullo. IMHO they have no character at all. I guess it depends on how long the design and construction take, as well as the cost.

Considering there's only one customer there, I think they'll forgo any repairs and sell off the remaining ROW.

I wonder how they insure their bridges. And they saw people running from the scene so arson seems to be spot on.

Correct, CP could use the Marpole spur to reach the Arbutus Corridor.
