Jasper County Democrat, Volume 22, Number 55, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 October 1919 — RIVER BRIDGE IS NOW OUT [ARTICLE]

RIVER BRIDGE IS NOW OUT

And Rensselaer Will Be a “Flag Station” for a While. The Monon railroad bridge which crosses the Kankakee at Water Valley Is to be taken out this morning to allow the big dredge to pass through, and trains will detour from Monon via San Pierre, it is understood, until it Is replaced, which will probably be in a week. It was not known at the Monon station here yesterday Just what provision would be made for taking care of the traffic at local stations between Monon and Water Valley, but It is likely that a local passenger and express train will be put an to ply between the two points and connect with the through trains at Monon, and that freight will be handled the same way. A foot bridge has been put in, It is understood, at the river, and it may be that passengers and mail will be transferred there.
