November 23, 2018 - The Indiana Railroad 3803 leads a short freight (The Bloomington Turn) with INRD 31687 caboose bringing up the rear as it heads across the Tulip Trestle at Solsberry, Indiana. 

According to Wikipedia: The Tulip Viaduct is a 2,295-foot  long railroad bridge (also known as the Greene County Viaduct or Tulip Trestle, and officially designated Bridge X76-6) in Greene County, Indiana, that spans Richland Creek between Solsberry and Tulip. According to Richard Simmons and Francis Haywood Parker, authors of Railroads of Indiana, it is "easily the state's most spectacular railroad bridge".

It is now part of the Indianapolis–Newton, Illinois, line of the Indiana Rail Road. - #jimstrainphotos #indianarailroads #trains #nikond800 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #inrd #indianarailroad
