The Lyon Resistance
Richard Wake
The small railroad bridge, our target for the night, was about halfway
between Lyon and Saint Etienne, maybe 10 miles from each, give or take.
The tracks ran close to the Rhone on one side and were hugged by
farmland on the other. The land was relatively flat there, and simple grade
crossings over the roadways were sufficient — except in this one place,
where a dip in the land called for a little stone bridge to hold the tracks
over an unnamed road dividing fields of hay. Although, on my scouting
trips, it never seemed that big of a dip. This might have been one of those
fortuitous occasions where a local elected official owned both the land that
the railroad company needed and the little stone bridge construction
company.
