A 1912 photo of a Monon inspection team with employee names.  Wonder what business car is shown?

A more common photo of a Monon inspection team in 1897.  Unfortunately, no names.  Anyone know the location?

This 1897 photo has been identified in the past as Bloomington.

Yes, Ken is correct that is Bloomington.  We have that photo in the archives.

Looks like #30 to me.  Bridge over a creek or small river.  Wonder where?

Purely a SWAG on my part, but I am thinking near Putnamville and the Deer Creek, Bridge 183.5 or 183.3 where the original golden spike was driven and later the Monon staged a re-enactment of the golden spike ceremony in the 50's.
