It looks to be part of the C&RIP line, but I didn't realize it was part still used by MOC to serve Labadie which is fantastic.
I was wondering why this section of track was so devoid of trees and overgrowth, that explains it. lol
I believe this bridge is part of the old Rock Island railroad, this is part of the short-line still operated by Ameren to haul coal to the Labadie power plant.
Yes, this line[Central Midland Railroad/Ameren] is still in use to Union,Missouri. Ameren wanted to use this line for coal but UP would insist in the sale contract no coal be hauled to Labadie.
