I used to attend Purdue University, so I know a couple good spots around there: <br /> <br />Lafayette Jct.: <br />Go south on Wabash Ave. from the Amtrak depot through 2 stop lights. You'll duck under the CSX/NS mainline, then approach a four way stop. Turn left (east) at the stop sign to the dead end, and park along the street. The pedestrian bridge goes over Lafayette Jct., where the NS main splits to head off to Frankfort & Decatur, and where the KB&S main comes into CSX & NS. <br />NOTE: For pictures, you'll need a step ladder, as the bridge has fencing along both sides. <br /> <br />CSX Monon River Bridge <br />Head north along Canal St., alongside CSX's Lafayette Yard. You'll go under US52, and past a spot called Duncan Meter, which is the north end of CSX's yard. Go north a couple of miles. On the left side of the road, you'll see a sign for a nature area & a dirt road. Take that, and follow it back underneath Canal St. It will take you back to the Wabash River Bridge, with the Monon logo still showing through. Good for evening shots of the occasional southbound <br /> <br /> <br />Caylorman
