Tulip trestle is located on the Indiana Railroad in SW Indiana, near Bloomfield and Solsberry - https://visitgc.com/where-to-g...restle/#.Yr7SEVfMLrc
I've been there once, but did not see a train crossing it. I've heard that the railroad runs two trains per day across it, but I can't find any current schedule information. Does anyone have information regarding the schedule?
There was a website with info about Indiana railroads (indianarailroads.org), but it has been offline for over a month.

There is no "schedule."
The Indiana Railroad is a regional railroad that runs trains based upon customer demand. Consequently they don't run at the same time every day.
Saw Nickel Plate USRA light 2-8-2 #587 pull a railfan trip over Tulip Trestle in 1988 - marvelous whistling echoing across the valley. Spectacular bridge!!
In case anyone else is interested, I spoke with some knowledgeable folks in the area...
The Indiana RR runs a westbound train (daily except Saturday) that is scheduled to depart Indianapolis around 3pm. If it's not delayed, it arrives at Tulip Trestle around 4 or 4:30pm. It's rarely early, and sometimes it passes around 6pm or later. The eastbound return is usually during darkness.
