Rail survey could alter Vincennes B and O route
Reports say a new Vincennes survey for the B and O Southwestern would move the right of way mile and a half north of Union Station and include a Wabash bridge. If approved, tracks would enter Vincennes from the east on a straight line, bypassing the current curve and a cross of the Wabash.
