Throwback Thursday - a photo on Flickriver

Throwback Thursday

            Phil Boldman was in charge of keeping Conrails Danville secondary clear of snow between Schneider, Indiana and Danville, Illinois.  Fortunately, he took shots along the way.  

This photo is looking south at the beginning of his day on January 15th, 1982 and shows both the Williams ditch and Kankakee river bridges.  The pump house and water tank were located here in the steam days.  Note that the bridge over the Kankakee river is a double track bridge.  The NYC never had 2 tracks over this bridge but was ready in case it ever happened.  The double track officially ended at Charlotte street in Schneider and was interlocked from the tower.  However, it continued to this location for the water facilities.  The switch was on this side of the bridge.  US 41 is at right out of photo.
