Maybe they will put in some benches and a $300,000 statue, and designate the Hadley roundabout as a "railfan park".
Considering the train count that goes through there, that seems so "Fort Wayne"

A statue of maybe Harry Baals ?

Be almost comical to present a proposal that the railroad intends adding the 2nd main later this year.. And yes someone spent a lot of unnecessary taxpayer money.. Many people despise roundabouts.. Other than taking up more land there a great traffic control improvement..

It is my understanding that the Marion Branch cannot run auto racks or double stacks because of that bridge. I also understand a clearance project there has been discussed, but due to the rather stiff grade there, simply undercutting would be problematic, which would leave raising the Wabash line, ...

Are there any height restrictions on the Marion Branch where it goes under the Wabash ?

Did they by chance leave the old bridge up as a "viewing platform." I know the answer, but a guy can wish.

I did use the new bridge for pictures..

I shoot in RAW a majority of the time but the trade off is that it does use twice the storage space.. 12- 20 meg file size a person go through a lot of memory, I carry 64 gig cards in my camera and use Adobe Lightroom to edit.

A couple meetings in Fort Wayne and a few pictures before heading home.. East Wayne seemed to be on the busy side yesterday..

In observation of U.S. Veterans Day, Kansas City Southern today in Shreveport, La., unveiled KCS locomotive No. 4006, newly painted in a patriotic paint scheme. The locomotive is a 2005 EMD SD70ACE maintained in the Shreveport KCS Locomotive Shop.

I just changed that setting from Zero to Ten.. Good Luck, Mike So, what happens at 10? Are we given an option to delete old attachments to make room for new, or what? Zero on several of the setting equals unlimited on several of the settings, I believe 10 equals the number of attachments per post.....

It still looks terrible but they do keep the wheels on the rails ! But yes it is better... terrible place for a railroad.. on a swamp and nowhere to drain..

I could not find anything that would suggest that it is still alive, nor have I found anything to confirm that it is gone either.
