| One day I had the luck (they
usually ran late in the evening) to see
the AVR geep silently slip down
the ramp
from the Ft. Wayne Bridge, heading towards Island Avenue Yard. I didn't
catch them at Island Avenue but later found them switching cars at
Coleman
(Nadine). The track to the left is the ramp from the Brilliant Branch,
the
track to the right is the main to 40th St. In the background the
Brilliant
Branch Bridge is visible, formerly connecting the Brilliant Branch to
Sharpsburg
and Etna Yard. The bridge has been restored by the AVR to reach a
customer on the North Side. Due to the hills, this location is the
shade
even in early afternoon on November 28th 1999. |
