    A relative by marriage of Neil's, named Aquila Rose, worked for the railroad. He lived in Mt. Carmel, Illinois, which is near St. Francisville, where the first picture I sent was taken.

    Roger, is that a box car in that bridge structure? And was the bridge washed out by the force of the flood? :tb-confused:

    Yes and yes.
    It was the force of the flood that washed out the bridge. I have 5 other photos of the destruction. Indeed, I have photos of the 1913 flood just outside of Anderson with an Interurban track.
