The bridges at Red Hill were still there as of last year when I drove down to visit the C&TS via US 285. They can be seen from the highway. As for the ones at Parlins, I can't testify to those because US 285 does not follow the C&S in that direction.

When I get home in a couple of days, I'll check the valuation field notes.

Many times the field Notes just say "Built as bridge No. (fill in the blank)". This sort of shorthand is done with many structures like Water Tanks, Water Closets, Coal Sheds and Depots. In Breckenridge the notes on the depot reads "Built as Dillon Depot" meaning that it was built in the same manner as the Dillon Depot as they both served the C&S concurrently.

The biggest problem for me is when the Coal Sheds or Tanks or bridges refer to a standard gauge structure that I don't have a cross reference for.
