Watershed Trail Viaduct
This bridge on the Watershed Trail goes over the Norfolk Southern's former Wabash main line- this trail does cross under the Union Pacific's former New York Central main line- but it is about 5 miles west of here nearer to Roxana. I grew up in Edwardsville and I can remember messing around back here on my dirt bike before the tracks were torn out and made into a trail.
