Michael Swygert
commented over 1 year agoHaving grown up in Hammond, Indiana, in the 1940s, this reminds me of my childhood. Because trains were everywhere in Hammond, I wanted for years to be a railroad engineer on the old Indiana Harbor Belt RR. Now, your magnificent photo of five bridges makes me once again dream about my original ambition. How much fun it would have been to run a locomotive through any of these five bridges. Joe, like so many of your photos, I love this one too.
