Valley City Heritage - a photo on Flickriver

            A nice combination of elements including the Interstate Heritage Unit, ex-Wabash Style Searchlight Signals which guard the tall lift bridge over the Illinois River.

This is a shot I've wanted to get for awhile, especially with the Searchlight Signal still standing. A timely headsup from Adam Taylor and some afternoon clearing of clouds (when I left the house it was completely overcast) made for a great outcome.
