Remarks & Notes

In the pouring rain, a westbound (northbound) Indiana Hi-Rail freight slowly rumbles over the ancient Wabash River Bridge just east of Grayville, Illinois, on April 25, 1993. The train is powered by an eclectic trio of locomotives, led by a former SP&S/Burlington Northern Alco C-425 No. 325 painted in company colors. Trailing is a former Louisville and Nashville Alco C-420 No. 315 and former Santa Fe EMD GP7 No 342. IHRC filed for bankruptcy in 1994, with the corporation gone by the end of 1997 and this line abandoned soon thereafter. On top of that, this bridge collapsed during a flood on the night of Jan. 12, 2005, sending two spans into the water which were eventually removed by Army Corps of Engineers and sold for scrap.
