The Big Four railway bridge across the Wabash River, Terre Haute
There were several accidents involving the bridge. On October 28, 1892, the center span collapsed and on February 23, 1900, the west span of the bridge collapsed.
Probably at least three locomotives and over 40 carriages have gone into the river at the bridge. Salvage records are difficult to find and it appears that no one knows what is left of them still on the river bed.
The problem with the Wabash River at Terre Haute and knowing what is under it is that the river bottom is not smooth and flat. Where this man is standing it is only 1ft 4in deep. A couple of hundred feet this side of him, it is over 60ft deep. The locomotive and carriages are in water that is normally between 20 and 35ft deep. The man is Brendan Kearns and one of his videos shows the location of the locomotive and the carriages.
