November 23, 200816 yr This is from the Crain Avenue bridge -- I went over this bridge about 500 times in my life (mainly from 1985-89). The bridge was closed because the train struck and possibly damaged the bridge: http://sitelife.wkyc.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/11/4/4b393bc6-f676-486c-84f4-f5e3b7933b7d.Large.jpg This and other photos are at: http://www.wkyc.com:80/life/community/persona.aspx?U=cc3049208cf9443994ee2379b8e09bbf&plckUserId=cc3049208cf9443994ee2379b8e09bbf&plckPersonaPage=PersonaGalleryPhoto&plckPhotoID=0555619b-30d5-4cc6-8193-77df3d73e181 "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
