What City and/or State is this being carried out? Michael McInerney Marion, South Australia, Date: 11/15/14 18:00 Re: New Bridge replacement on Mendota Sub Author: czephyr17 Yes, thanks for the photos.
I know the BNSF Mendota Sub extends from Aurora to Galesburg, Illinois, but where specifically is this bridge? Date: 11/15/14 18:30 Re: New Bridge replacement on Mendota Sub Author: MILW16 I guess this means a Amtrak reroute over the old Santa Fe line?

Date: 11/15/14 18:47 Re: New Bridge replacement on Mendota Sub Author: dt8089 Between Princeton and Wyanet IL. The one bridge can be observed from I-80. I believe they're replacing both high level bridges. Dan

Date: 11/16/14 06:27 Re: New Bridge replacement on Mendota Sub Author: AndyBrown The bridge in the photo is about a mile east of Wyanet. The one next to I-80 is about a mile west of Princeton.
Andy Date: 11/17/14 06:09 Re: New Bridge replacement on Mendota Sub Author: bnsfengineer The old bridges were restricted to 10 mph for high tonnage cars in a train.
