BN - North Commercial Street Overpass

Posted December 18, 2016, by Clark Vance (cvance [at] dogmail [dot] com)

You are right--the bridge still carries a short length of track that seems to see use as a siding connected to the Missouri Pacific (now UP) line running N-S through town. The missing bridge in the middle was the Kansas City, Clinton and Springfield Railway, later part of the Frisco.
