Depicted
here is the Brock Creek bridge which started its life as
a stone bridge. Later it was covered with concrete.
The
bridge carries the Monon tracks over Brock Creek, which
flows into Blue River a short distance down stream.
The
bridge was constructed by John
G. Campbell of Louisville and the creek and area around
it was landscaped by John
K. Campbell of Salem.
The
bridge still exists and is located adjacent to the O.P.Link
Handle Company. In 1982, two coal trains derailed at that
location just four months apart. Photographs of the derailment
are on The Depot’s “Wreck Wall” on the
main exhibit floor.
