Broad Ripple then and now

A few weeks ago I was in Indianapolis, and went to a cafe in Broad Ripple, near the Monon Trail. I took the opportunity to get a shot of the White River bridge that we have a shot of the Monon crossing. It looks a little different today than 1969 when Monon 203 crossed it southbound. 1969 photo by Dave Strahlendorf.

Rails Around Indiana will be released in early 2020
