Brazos Railroad Bridge is lightly used.

"Brazos Bridge is more than a weathered, metal monument to the glory days of trains. This Erector Set-like contraption towering above south [Napa] county wetlands is key to possible growth in local freight and passenger rail."

"That potential renaissance is off to a relaxed start. The once-busy train corridor is used a few times a week by the Northwestern Pacific Railroad Co. for freight trips and perhaps twice a year by Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) for special passenger trains traveling from Sacramento to Sonoma Raceway. From 2001 to 2011, the bridge was nothing more than gigantic piece of scenery that no longer operated. It was vandalized and its copper wiring had been stripped by thieves. Then Northwestern Pacific arrived on the scene to carry lumber, grain and other materials between the American Canyon area and such Sonoma County locations as Petaluma. The company spent $250,000 bringing Brazos Bridge back to life. Whether passenger train service picks up beyond those occasional trips . . . remains to be seen."
