As the westbound Zephyr accelerates west out of Leyden and over Indiana Street, it should be noted that this is a scene that continue to change and indeed has the potential to change even more in the coming years. New houses are being built on the north side of the tracks. Indeed, the classic Rio Grande bridge over Indiana Street may be living on borrowed time. There is a push to widen Indiana Street from two lanes to four lanes through here. That would necessitate a slight grade realignment for a new, wider bridge. There currently is no funding for the project, so, for now, the old bridge is safe.
