Rock overpass |
| Description: |
Some things never go away. Railroad heralds on bridges are often one of them, as a lot of railroad bridges dont get repainted on any kind of schedule. This one was in West Liberty Iowa, as if the Rock Island never went away 26 years prior. |

"Resurrection of the West Libery Depot" |
| Description: |
If I had not seen this depot prior to its restoration, I would question calling the restoration a resurrection but as it is, it is actually an appropriate term because the building was practically raised from the dead. Note the Brick Street, a nice added touch |
