Deer Creek Bridge 2004 and 2006

On the way to the 2004 Monon Railroad Historical-Technical Society Annual Meeting and Convention, I was able to cross another place off my "wandering list." The Deer Creek, or High Bridge. Thanks to Tom Rankin for acting as the tour guide. Left: Looking to the railroad south across the bridge. Yes, it is very high. Right: About one third of the way across, I turned and snapped this picture of the north end of the bridge. For some reason, I was only able to get about half way across. Not sure why, just did not feel comfortable that morning. Later I did cross the Wild Cat Creek bridge. Weird.

Another view of the Deer Creek bridge, looking to the southeast, I believe. (Tom Rankin will correct me if I am wrong.)

The High Bridge 2006. Left: Looking railroad south across the High Bridge. Right: Standing on the railroad south end of the High Bridge looking toward Delphi. During this trip I was able to walk across the bridge. Then, later in the day I learned that the south end of the bridge is accessable by vehicle.

Left: The south end of the bridge and abutments. Right: Looking towards the railroad north at the High Bridge. The view of Deer Creek from this side was obscured by the trees.

Left: Another shot of the bridge looking back towards the railroad north and Delphi. Right: Close up of trestle bents and bridge details.
