World's Second Largest Train Trestle

The world's second largest train trestle is located outside
Bloomfield, Indiana. The train only runs on this trestle
twice a year. You can walk across the trestle in 1.5 hours; that
is if you are not afraid of heights. The trestle used to have
barrels that were cut in half attached to the sides to catch
rainwater in order to help with the vibrations of the crossing
trains. So, if one happened to start across the trestle and
a train approached, one could just jump into the barrell.
More pictures on the travel photo albums.





My aunt and niece are standing at the bottom
of the trestle.
