I found some plans online that states that "The existing Bridge bascule span over the New River (Bridge No. SX1013.8) is to be salvaged by careful disassembly of the bascule span into transportable components (by barge and/or truck) for the purpose of assembly at a new location in Park owned by the City of Fort Lauderdale." If this transpires, this would be an amazing and almost unheard of situation where a railroad bridge being replaced was preserved by relocation!
