Disko Then and Now |
| Description: |
The top photo was taken by Sandy Goodrick in 1951 on the CR400S bridge that used to pass over the tracks. There used to be a jog in the road, where it now is CR 1550 E. A road bridge came across perpendicularly to the tracks, rather than an angled bridge, which would be required now. The bridge was removed in 1984 after the tracks were removed, the ROW was filled in,9and the road was straightened. On the bottom is the exact same location on October 20, 2015, believe it or not. |

Eastbound Girder |
| Description: |
The 700 W bridges again, this time looking over the easqbound span. Its crazy to think that this tiny bridge span once held up hundreds of thousands of tons of speeding, eastbound steel. |

Westbound, atop the CR 700W bridges |
| Description: |
I climbed up to the top of the eastbound bridge outside Disko on 700 W, and took this shot looking west. There was a barbed wire fence on the ROW, so I just stuck my arm over the fence and made sure not to trespass. This section of the ROW appears to be owned by a farmer now. The two heights are easily visible here too. |

700 W Bridges |
| Description: |
My third visit to these bridges. I just liked the angle of this shot. If only thered been an eastbound train coming through... but that hasnt happened since about 1979, 15 years before I was even born. |

ROW near Disko again |
| Description: |
Another shot looking wesj at the ROW near the CR 1475 bridge. The landowner chased me down thinking I may have been dumping trash (he told me hes had that problem in the past) but his face seemed to light up when I explained that I was interested in tracking dowo Erie Lackawanna history. Things changed quickly from there. I told him Id probably come back in the future and he was okay with it. Just remember, even if theres a No Trespassing sign and you dont go past where it is, keep your distance. I learned my lesson that day, and luckily it all turned out okay in the end. But it may not tupn out well for everyone. |

Another Erie Lackawanna Remnant Gone |
| Description: |
The CR700W double overpass was removed in mid-May of 2016, after more than 30 years of abandonment. It was one of the best remnants we had left of the EL West End in Indiana, but it simply became too much of a hazard after decades of not being maintained. |
