Does anyone know when the steel trestle over the San Fransisco River for the Morenci Southern was finally demolished. I've seen photos of it in Railroads of Arizona Vol III, Morenci and it's Mining Roads which was published in 1983 and have no recolection of it being said to be demolished.

Flash fowaard to Eighth Grade on a School Rafting Trip from South of Morenci to Safford, you could still see the Abutments, roadbed, and tunnel's on the southern clifside. This was in 2001, so it was gone by that time (if not before I was born).

does anyone have any photos of it?
