Montezuma, Parke County, Indiana
The West Union Covered Bridge is north-northeast of Montezuma, Indiana. The two-span Burr Arch Truss covered bridge structure was built by Joseph J. Daniels in 1876. It is notable for being the longest standing covered bridge in Parke County.
The West Union Covered Bridge is the third bridge to stand at this location. The Star Mill Covered Bridge was the first and then the Harrison Covered Bridge replaced it but was damaged in 1876 prompting the West Union Covered Bridge to be built. The bridge was finished in September 1876. The road was originally part of the "Indiana State Highway", established with Legislature in 1827, which connected Fort Wayne with Terre Haute. Along with the Armiesburg Covered Bridge it hosted stage coach traffic to Lafayette.
Not much is left of West Union today, only a handful of houses. Gone are the school, post office, and the railroad. The Wabash Erie Canal ran just west of town with a feeder canal running south of Sugar Creek and connecting to the west of the bridge. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad crossed Sugar Creek to the east of the bridge and past West Union on the west side. Little is left of evidence of the railroad or the canal today. Farmers reclaimed the land and farm most of it today.
West Union Bridge is the work of the prolific Indiana covered bridge builder Joseph J. Daniels (1826-1916) and is an excellent example of his use and development of the Burr Arch Truss. At 315' from portal to portal, the double-span bridge is the longest covered bridge in Parke County, a county known for its numerous covered bridges of considerable length. J.J Daniels built the bridge in 1876 to replace the previous bridge crossing Sugar Creek, also of his design and construction, which was destroyed by high water. Daniels built nearly sixty covered bridges in Indiana between 1855 and ca. 1900. The West Union Bridge represents a later Burr Arch Truss design.

To me as an urban planner, Union Square (as it's formally known) is a spectacle of ultra high density mixed use development. This development is built over the Kowloon MTR Station and sits on 13 hectares of land reclaimed from Victoria Harbour. A high end shopping mall, Elements, occupies well over a million square feet above the train/MTR station. The roof of the mall is used as a quasi public plaza and as access to the multiple towers on site. There are over 8,000 housing units here, as well as the 118 storey Intrenational Commerce Centre and W Hotel.
Housing prices are shocking. At the "Harbourside", the 75 storey blue tower second from left for example, a lower floor 743 square foot two bedroom apartments was listed at $21 million HKD ($3.4 million Canadian/ $2.7 million USD )in December 2017 .
When I first visited this development in 2008, it seemed completely isolated from the city and was not at all a friendly place to get to as a pedestrian. In 2017, it's in the middle of a sea of cranes and new buildings.
In future, there will likely be better connectivity, as more massive development, the West Kowloon Cultural District, is currently taking place on 40 hectares of land adjacent to Elements/Union Square.

In 2014, several AC4400CWs still retaining their original SP numbers could be found across the UP system, but now, they wear armour yellow paint and numbers that fit in UP's roster. 10/22/14
