This old steam era single track railroad Bascule drawbridge, is located in a very isolated industrial section of Hammond Indiana. I took this photograph late in the day just before sunset, on a group photo outing back in late November of last year. My good friend and fellow Chicago railfan buddy Anthony C, drove us to this unique photo location. I do not even know what gravel road this was on. It wa definately in the far backside of Hammond Indiana. This bridge serves the freight trains of the Canadian National, that travel over this former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railroad line acquired through merger in 2009.

Great location and one of the true relics still with us from the past. Glad we made it.
