p.s where does it end?and get a picture when it falls

the bridge is in good shape exept the callapsing part it should be fixed and used.

I am from around Frankfort but now reside in Elkhart In. Anyway I walked the bridge two summers ago it is a cool place to visit if ya like this kinda stuff!! Thanks for the pictures. I hope others will take the time to look at them.

I grew up near this bridge. It holds a lot of memories for me and my family. I just visited it for the first time in a decade. I went to say good bye and take some last pictures. It is in bad shape. I will hate to see it come down.

When it does come down please send me some

photos or post them here on the site.

Thanks

Just looked at your pics and I agree, I think that one section could go at any time. Then we'll have what looks like a minature Kinzua viaduct in Indiana.

As of April 15, 2007 this trestle was still standing, but it appears it won't be for long. The abutment in the center of the creek moved during high water earlier this spring, and these photos show the result. Looks to me like it will only take one more good rain and this one will be coming down!
