Wait. Which way do I go? And what the heck is the train doing in the street!

So many SIGNS...

Also Falls City for @indiucky for little to no apparent reason.

Better times?

Reminds me of Noblesville, where they were restoring the old 587 back in the day.

Sort of, but MORE trains, and a narrow bridge shared with trains (behind the camera)

I should have mentioned that is New Albany

Looks like a great place to avoid.

Looks like Vincennes street at the K+I bridge?

Fast forward to present day: CSX's latest Heritage Unit- A GE ES44AH painted in the classic Monon livery with number 1897 to pay homage to the year the company was established.

If you could pan the camera 180 degrees, you would see the K+I bridge, which is still a railway bridge over the Ohio, but back when I was a kid, it was a toll bridge with one narrow lane in each direction. Used to ride across it with my dad when he worked in Louisville. It was sketchy as hell back then, had a steel grate for a driving surface, and it would make all kinds of racket.

This is the closest I could get to the bridge from the Indiana side on Google Maps.
That's the bridge at the end of the rail line.

That enhancement stuff really works! You can really see the bridge now!

 

[DoggyDaddy]
