Ex-RI right of way, looking east near Trinity Southern Baptist Church
Title:  Ex-RI right of way, looking east near Trinity Southern Baptist Church
Description:  This view looks east at what's left of the Rock Island right of way near Versailles, MO. The rails are still in the roadbed, somewhere, but 30-plus years of de facto abandonment have taken a toll on this once-active line. I don't know when the rails were removed, and the roadbed graded through, to make this a level grade crossing.

Ex-Rock Island right-of-way, looking west near Trinity Southern Baptist Church
Title:  Ex-Rock Island right-of-way, looking west near Trinity Southern Baptist Church
Description:  This view looks west, straight at the former St. Louis-Kansas City sub roadbed. Rails are still in there somewhere but likelihood of rail traffic ever happening on this line again is highly unlikely.

Ex-RI bridge over Moreau Creek
Title:  Ex-RI bridge over Moreau Creek
Description:  This view of the bridge looks southwest. Moreau Creek was very low in mid-March when I took this picture but the bridge was built very high above the waterway. Note that there are no handrails or safety features of any kind that I can see on this bridge. Location is south of Missouri highway 52 near Versailles in Morgan county.

East end of ex-RI bridge over Moreau Creek
Title:  East end of ex-RI bridge over Moreau Creek
Description:  Looking southeast, you can see the eastern part of the Moreau Creek bridge. The ground slopes up to the roadbed. I don't have any idea what this terrain looked like when the Rock Island was active.

Closer view of pier and bridge steelwork
Title:  Closer view of pier and bridge steelwork
Description:  The concrete pier seems very substantial for this bridge. The girders appear to be quite deep--does anyone have a guess as to the Cooper E-rating? Photos in various media show 2-8-2's in steam days, and multi-unit lashups of four-axle diesels (lots of GP40's, e.g.) in and around Eldon, for example (Eldon is a few miles to the east of this photo).

West end of Moreau Creek bridge
Title:  West end of Moreau Creek bridge
Description:  The west end of the Moreau Creek bridge featured not only a relatively short concrete pier, but also what seems to be a trestle bent just west of the first pier. The rails appear to be floating on air, as I can't see any ties or roadbed at the approach to this bridge. Comments on this or the other photos would be welcomed.

Location sign near old tracks
Title:  Location sign near old tracks
Description:  Rock Island apparently had signs like this at various locations. Some are still in place, like this one at Summerfield and another at Canaan, just west of Owensville. Why these two signs are still standing when so many others aren't is something I can't explain. April 20, 2014.

Description:  Some of Meta's residential area is off to the left of this photo. Other homes are further to the right. The buildings in the background are part of two business: the first, smaller one, is a milling company (or used to be); the larger structure in back, with the tanks, piping, etc., is part of the Black Diamond Dog Food company. The track in the photo is the only one remaining; at one time three tracks were in this community. Plans are in place to have a salvage crew remove these rails in order to convert this line into the "Rock Island Trail".

Ex-RI right of way, looking west
Title:  Ex-RI right of way, looking west
Description:  My digital camera did a good job of showing the right of way a good distance from where I was standing. That looks like a crossing of some kind, near the middle of the photo, near the white pole, but I don't know if it's former Katy roadbed (Katy used to run through Windsor, too) or a road of some kind.
