Saw this on the Amtrak page. Look familiar to anyone? If I am not mistaken, this is the Wabash River bridge north of Lafayette. Photo by Justin Sandlin

Tom,

Yes that is the Wabash River taken from the north bank looking west.  That is 9thst in the background and the old 9th st. bridge beyond that.

I am so use to seeing that bridge from the highway. Photographer had a great angle for this shot.

That's what got me confused.  I am used to seeing photos shot from the other direction.  This is a great shot.  Too bad it's not a Monon engine.
