Illinois Central Kickapoo Creek Bridge
Bridge is still intact and in fairly good condition, just visited it as of 9/24/14. It is on privately owned land and was accessed with permission, the old Illinois Terminal ROW provides a good trail to access the site. Took several photos and will post soon.
(It should also be noted that the abutments of the IT bridge are still in place and are in good shape, and are adjacent to the IC bridge.)
