Mark Barnett posted six photos with the comment: "I found these photo's I took back in 1992 to 95,of the Illinois Terminal bridge over the Sangamon River just south of Sherman between Sandhill Road north of Springfield. First one is looking north towards Sherman, then I went over on the old P&N bridge and took a couple more looking east then worked my way north back to the IT looking south. This bridge has been gone for several years now."

Mark Barnett posted 10 photos with the comment: "May of 1998 we called it a rain day and Mike Fortney and I made a road trip back to the Illinois Terminal bridge over the Sangamon River when we got word it was to be removed soon. I took these final photo's all looking south except for the final one looking north towards Sherman where we parked at the rest stop on 55. Also notice one shot of the P&N bridge to the west of the IT. The water was high that day and mother nature was trying to take over the bridge on the north end."

But it was gone three years later. And by the next image, 3/2005, the other bridge was also gone.
