Trail/AE&FR Bridge over Fox River between St. Charles & South Elgin, IL

(Archived Bridge Hunter; Bridge Hunter is broke; no Historic Bridges; Satellite)


It looks like the Fox River is running high.

Some exciting news - This interurban bridge photo from Elgin IL is going to be featured in the next issue of Rails to Trails Magazine.  I always give away photos to trail coordinators and nonprofits so if you fit in this category and want to publish something, let me know.

I thought this photo was the same until I noticed that the reflection of the clouds was different.

"One of the nicest parts of the entire Fox River Trail is the 900 foot [274m] long (including island!) bridge over the Fox River in South Elgin, built on the piers of the Chicago, Aurora, and Elgin interurban railway."
[He has specified the wrong interurban. As I indicated at the top of these notes, this was the AE&FR.]
