While the locomotive could transport tons upon tons of cargo quickly over land, it was limited by its inability to handle any sort of slope since there was little friction between the wheels and rails. This bridge was an example of how the trains dealt with hills or canyons. The thick timber used in the bridge was indicative of its strength. In Indiana, many bridges were constructed by Archibald Kennedy and his sons. Unfortunately, arsonists burned down the bridge in 1993 and it was rebuilt in 1997. It doesn’t hold trains anymore but it upholds the history of Dearborn County.
