Santa Fe Sanitary Canal Railroad Bridge
Canal Bank Drive, Forest View, IL 60501, United States of America
Santa Fe Sanitary Canal Railroad Bridge carries a farm track over the Illinois Waterway (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal) between Preston and Willington.
Early plans of what would become the Illinois Waterway (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal) were drawn up by Henry Thomas in 1876 but problems with Slough Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Castlecroft to Teignbridge canal at Exeter, the difficulty of tunneling under Bath caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Lancaster instead. The Illinois Waterway (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal) was closed in 1955 when Tiverstone Embankment collapsed. In his autobiography George Hunter writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
