Another thing you might keep eye eye out for is the so-called "bear trap" bridge, which was almost like a log cabin. It was a square or rectangle of logs stacked up like a building, on top of which the track was laid on stringers. I have found the remains of a couple of these in Pennsylvania nearly 100 years after they were abandoned.
