Long Grove bridge hit by moving truck, allegedly for the 67th time
LONG GROVE, Ill. (WGN) — Water is wet. The sky is blue. Someone hit the Long Grove Covered Bridge again. A WGN TV News viewer sent a small treasure trove of photos detailing the latest vehicle that was too tall to pass over Buffalo Creek. The viewer told WGN TV News this is allegedly the 67th time the bridge has been struck by a vehicle. Built 1906, it was initially named after Buffalo Creek, and didn't feature a wooden roof over the top of it. The wooden cover was added in 1972. The bridge, which measures 8-feet-6-inches tall, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 2018, and was promptly plowed through two weeks later. Cover Story: The infamous Long Grove Covered Bridge It was restored, but 23 hours after the official reopening in August 2020, another driver in a chartered school bus not only hit it, but got stuck. The good news is, it wasn't completely obliterated like it was in 2018. With how frequent the bridge has been struck over the years, one would think there's a lack of signage around the well-battered crossing, but that's not the case. Signs are posted on, before and after crossing the bridge on Robert Parker Coffin Road, and they have done little to stop vehicles from leaving various dings and dents over the years, fines for which start at $700.

Union Pacific Railroad names Tehachapi as ‘Train Town USA'
TEHACHAPI, Calif. (KGET) — Move over Thomas, and hold onto your caboose cause it's official: Tehachapi is known as Train Town U.S.A. Peggy YgBuhay with Union Pacific said, ''Union Pacific Railroad does grant Tehachapi, California the title of, 'Train Town USA.' You can clap.'' The Tehachapi Depot is celebrating 15 years since restoring the museum that was destroyed in a fire in July 2008 caused from bottle rockets. Tehachapi Mayor, Joan Pogon-Cord, said, 'My husband, he was a deputy sheriff at that time, told me. It was like a knife to my heart.' It took $2 million to restore the historic building two years later. The biggest draw in Train Town isn't the museum with one heck of a moving exhibit. It's the engineering feat, known as the Tehachapi Loop. V.P. Marlan Woodside with Friends of Tehachapi Depot said, 'The purpose of the loop is to raise the track from a bottom of 77 feet up to the top rail in a distance of 4,000 feet.' Pride runs deep in Tehachapi, and part of that pride is because of the Tehachapi Loop, where up to 40 trains a day make the trek. It's an engineering marvel, and part of the reason why the depot is celebrating 15 years. Founder of Friends of Tehachapi Depot, Doug Prickard said, 'In 2026, it'll be the 150th anniversary of when this track was originally built.' People from all over the world marvel at man's defiance against gravity with this historic track. People even get married at the Tehachapi Loop. Ron & Becky Wilson are train tourists from Oregon. They marvel at the site of the Tehachapi Loop. 'All of a sudden we heard a whistle down the way, and another train came,' said Becky. 'So, made the loop, and then the other one started going and passed each other on the loop. It was really fun.' Up to 10,000 guests a year sign the guest book at the Tehachapi Train Depot. Depot staff say at last report, the museum has seen up to 150,000 visitors. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
