TELL CITY, Ind. (WFIE) - The Perry County Port Authority received a big-time grant from the US Department of Commerce to finish two infrastructure projects.
The county received more than $4.5 million to replace two railroad bridges, project officials at the Port Authority say has been years in the making.
“They are both over 100 years old,” says General Manager Jared Kleemann.
Both the milepost 8.1 bridge over the Anderson River connecting to Spencer County and the 11.7 bridge in Evanston have needed a little TLC.
Everyone is getting creative in 2020 including the Ohio River Scenic Railway. Not only does the railway offer fun themed rides for Christmas they are doing movies and a train ride.
Our family would absolutely love this. Any opportunity we have to get in our pajamas and relax we jump on board (no pun intended). Getting to watch a Christmas classic and take a nighttime train ride is something we could mark off our bucket list.
Monday, December 14, Tuesday, December 15, and Thursday, December 17, families can hop aboard and create timeless memories and start a new tradition for the holidays. They will be showing Miracle on 34th Street from 1947. If you ve never seen this movie it is truly one to watch. A department store Santa says he is the real Santa and they lock him up. A lawyer comes to his rescue to defend him. Grab your tickets to find out what happens.
