Where was the 870 ft. long trestle described in the attached 1904 article?

  A Lengthy Trestle, perhaps the highest long piece of
  trestle work in Indiana, has just been completed by the
  Monon railroad over a ravine in the south part of the state.
  The structure is steel through out and has been under
  construction for a year.  The trestle proper is 870 feet
  long and about 100 feet high in the highest place.  From
  twenty to fifty men have been employed continuously for the
  last year in building it and during its construction one man
  was killed and six injured.  The steel trestle is to take
  the place of a wooden structure that has been standing for
  years and which is about one-half mile long.

My SWAG is the Paoli Trestle, based on length and height mentioned.

[Joe Land]

I agree. Paoli trestle was built in 1904, and replaced the wooden curved trestle.

[Ron Marquardt]

Joe is correct, the Paoli trestle.  Thanks for posting this Stew.  I love these old newspaper articles.  / Ron

Stew and all, here is an article about the new Paoil trestle from the 1904 Railroad Gazette.  / Ron

And for those who don't know, this is what the Paoli Trestle looked like.

The Paoli Trestle Story according to Ben Atchison, my grandson, when he was four years old.

That is a cute story Joe. Out of the mouths of babes. It reminds me of my Grandpa telling me about the "floating bridge" between Creston and Cedar Lake. Being 4 at the times, I bought it. Then years later realized it was true and known as the Paisley Trestle.

Both end bents at Paoli are visible on Google Earth and it measures 864+- feet between them.  The  original wood trestle was curved, a lot shorter and a lot lower in elevation.
