[RITSlist] Bureau, IL

Actually, the three-track cantilever bridge at the east end of the depot lasted quite a while, compared to the other out-of-service signals along the New Rock. It lasted well into the 1990s and I want to say it made it into the new millenium (middle-aged memory is failing me at the moment). 

Of course, Erik, given our respective ages (I've got at least 20 years on you), your idea of "quite a while" and mine are probably a bit different

The "original" Mr. Brown (Fast Eddie, as opposed to Andy) could probably tell us exactly when it came down, seeing as how he's spent a fair chunk of his IAIS career working out of Bureau. Harold Krewer
