Pictures 2-2 and 2-3.
The only remnant of the horsecar line remaining in the community is
this little bridge, on which the horsecars crossed the Boneyard Creek near
the present day northwest corner of Second Street and Springfield Avenue
in Champaign. These pictures show its appearance on November 30,
1971. The upper picture looks toward the bridge from the north, the
lower picture from the south. At this time, the land on each side
of the bridge was privately owned. The bridge had deteriorated greatly
over the years, and the owner had erected a wooden rail to discourage people
from crossing the bridge. — Photos by the author
