My Father grew up near this bridge, (well Starr and Folkers) and they used to get on top and see if the steam locomotives could blow them off. If the engineers would see them, they'd stop most of the steam going out the stack, and the cops would come and chase them away. Kickapoo Creek was deep enough that they'd dive off the bridge into the water. So damm dangerous! The last time I checked the creek was about 8 inches deep under the "temporary" bridge they put up for construction purposes under the RR bridge.
Lovely shots!
