63rd Street Trestle
Posted June 30, 2011, by Clark Vance (cvance [at] dogmail [dot] com)

I'm working at documenting the older RR bridges on the lines coming in to KC from the south. I don't plan on using this site to list new bridges e.g. KCS crossing of MO 150, US 71, or I-435. The KCS line still has a number of original bridges although the ones between 107th and 87th have all been replaced. I plan on getting photos of all of this line's original bridges posted this summer.

Awesome!!! There are 3 more KCS bridges in the KC/Grandview area that you could photograph: 1) the concrete overpass just to the west of E. Stadium Rd, 2) the concrete/steel deck girder bridge that crosses over I-435 outside of Grandview, and 3) the steel thru-plate girder bridge in Grandview that crosses a street and rr tracks. This one used to be silver/brown or black; now, it has been repainted. I am not sure whether the western-most span crosses a side access road or rr tracks. It is difficult to see due to foliage.
