Rewatching and over-thinking. The bridge over Shonash Ravine is not the steel bridge over Eastwood Ravine. When they decided to upgrade it they certainly would not have taken the old trestle out of service for the years it would take to build the new bridge, they would have built it to the side of it. So, when Marty returns to 1985 he should have plunged into the ravine in similar fashion as to how the loco did. 30’ or more removed from the tracks he was relying on.

(The DeLorean slammed into a field of tall grass with a blinding flash of blue lightning, skidding to a halt right in front of a dirt mound. The gull-wing door hissed upward, and a wild-eyed scientist tumbled out, his white hair frizzed to maximum capacity. He frantically checked his radiation suit, adjusted his welding goggles, and peered at the digital readout on the dashboard.)

DOC BROWN: (Gasping, clutching his head) Great Scott! The temporal displacement circuit must have shorted out! I’ve overshot 1985 entirely! But where am I? When am I?

(A small, gray elbow popped out of the dirt mound right in front of his boots. A long ear followed, twitching once, twice, before a suave rabbit calmly emerged holding a half-eaten carrot. He took a loud, deliberate crunch.)

BUGS BUNNY: (Leaning casually on a spade) Eh... what's up, Doc?

(The scientist froze, his eyes bulging behind his goggles. He dropped to his knees, staring intently at the rabbit.)

DOC BROWN: (Stammering, pulling a wildly blinking handheld scanner from his coat and waving it erratically) Remarkable! An anthropomorphic, localized anomaly! Tell me, creature—are you an alien? A mutant result of nuclear fallout from the 21st century?

(The rabbit slowly lowered his carrot, staring at the manic scientist with a raised eyebrow.)

BUGS BUNNY: (Taking another slow bite) Look, heavy, I'm just a rabbit tryin' to make a left turn at Albuquerque. What’s with the shiny DeLorean? You racin' the Turtle again?

DOC BROWN: (Grabbing the rabbit by the shoulders, shaking him gently) A left turn at... Albuquerque?! Don't you understand?! You shouldn't exist! If you're talking, it means the fabric of space-time is tearing at the seams! Interacting with you could trigger a chain reaction that unravels the universe!

(The rabbit nonchalantly pulled a giant, red ACME eraser from behind his back, blew off the dust, and pointed it at the time machine.)

BUGS BUNNY: (Smirking with a wink) Relax, pop. If the universe gets erased, I'll just draw us a new one.

I mean doc did and he went from age 65 to biological 35
