UP Local crossing I-44 |
| Description: |
UPs 592 "Pacific" local, on this day a single unit, trundles over Interstate 44 in Crestwood, MO, heading westbound for Kirkwood Junction, and on towards Pacific. Its hard to believe that just a decade earlier, several times a day, heavy westbound freights would grind over this bridge on their way to Kansas City. Photo taken from the Big Bend overpass, approx. 1/95. Today this bridge, painted a hideous green by its new tree-hugging tenant, is part of Gateway Trailnets "Grants Trail" extending several miles to the southeast. While I like the concept of "rail-trails" as they preserve rail corridors for future rail use, should this ever become likely here, Gateway Trailnet, its supporters, and the residents of Crestwood and Grantwood Village would likely take on a bloody fight all the way to congress. |
