Kankakee River from above. |
| Description: |
The river is at its lowest level in many years. Sand bar in the middle of picture is the point from which earlier bridge photo was taken and is normally under a couple of feet of water. This picture was shot from an HVRM train. If any one cares the location is MP 217.8 from Cincinnati, OH. |

MP 241.25 ML Columbus to Chicago. |
| Description: |
The title of this photograph reflects my estimate of the location of this bridge from Columbus, OH. The Kankakee River below shows how low it's water level is. I really have trouble sometimes, pondering the fact that today there is enough business to barely support one bridge let alone two. |
