Last weekend was pretty eventful in more ways than one as I was able to take a random road trip which would finally lead me to Sidney, OH & by the way, one of the more important concrete railroad bridges in the United States (as well as one of the most awesome historic landmarks around): the Big Four (now CSX) bridge over the Great Miami River.
I've visited this bridge about 3 times already so I was prepared accordingly for this imposing structure. (For first-timers who don't know about this bridge already, you should check it out!!) Opened up to rail traffic in 1924, it is one of the more enduring landmarks of our times as well as the city of Sidney, OH & is great for photographing. Seriously, it's that awesome.
Not too far off, is another CSX bridge to take note of (& also the least accessible): it's over another CSX mainline (Toledo-on down south). I tried to get some reasonable photos here & I feel I did my best to get some awesome pics before heading back to Indiana...nice but challenging nonetheless.
If anything intrigues me or sparks my interest to the utmost degree, random road trips such as the one I just took on Saturday really do the trick. They even make you think of the directions your life could take when it comes to all things historical.
