Ottawa Rail Bridge carries a footpath over the Illinois Waterway (Illinois River) between Southley and St Helens.
Early plans of what would become the Illinois Waterway (Illinois River) were drawn up by George Jones in 1888 but problems with Reading Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cheltenham. In his autobiography Thomas Edwards writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s

Wikipedia has a page about Ottawa Rail Bridge
The Ottawa Rail Bridge is a railroad bridge spanning the Illinois River in the municipality of Ottawa, LaSalle County, Illinois. The first rail crossing on this site was constructed in 1871 by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, along a route leased from the Ottawa, Oswego and Fox River Valley Railroad between Ottawa and Streator, Illinois. The current bridge was constructed in 1898 by the King Bridge Company and altered in 1932 to include a vertical-lift span designed by Waddell & Harrington. The Illinois Railway now operates trains over the bridge on its Ottawa Branch between Streator and Montgomery, Illinois.
