E. Stadium Drive Bridge
Posted August 21, 2010, by Remick Bloss (madirea [at] cox [dot] net)

Thanks for posting the E. Stadium arch bridge. I've always wondered what the RI line was like behind the stadium. Also, thanks for posting the two RI overpasses, Blue Springs cut-off and Raytown. Do you ( or could you) post 3 more Leeds Junction bridges? They are as follows: 1) KCS's concrete viaduct just to the west of the E. Stadium arch bridge, 2)RI's Deck girder bridge over Manchester Trafficway right around the corner from the arch bridge, and finally the best, 3) the RI's thru plate girder/trestle that crosses the UP/SL-SF tracks. All 3 of these bridges are fit to be on this website. I'll post more later on the HO scale Kansas City, Ottumwa, & Western, as I am working on creating a website. May I post this website as one of my links?
