Indiantown Railroad Bridge
I use to live next to this bridge & would walk across the crossties at age 3. Mr. Clement lived across the track & was the bridge tender.

This may have been the bridge where my father was a bridge tender for three years ending in 1948 when he was killed. We lived in a little house by the railroad track. Does anyone know my father, Charlie N McNatt? He was married to Christine Williams from Okeechobee, Florida.
