NS - Cook Street Overpass
Posted April 30, 2021, by Tim (springfieldbridges [at] gmail [dot] com)

The street view is at the wrong bridge. The photos are correct at the Cook Street underpass. These bridges are next to be replaced and new High Speed Rail corridor bridges in their place. The NSRR (former wabash) yard near here will be used for the UPRR/NSRR double tracks.

IMRR - Cook Street Overpass

Wrong picture. The picture is the replacement NS between 9th and 11th Streets. The IM or IC RR Cook Street Overpass is east of 18th Street.
