BNSF/Santa Fe over Hickory Creek in Joliet, IL

(Satellite; BNSF/Santa Fe is on the left, UP/GM&O is on the right)

Why yet another still girder RR bridge? Because I was impressed by the amount of concrete used here to channelize the creek. It has natural shores at the Metra/Rock Island overpass and the dam.
