Ex-RI ROW, site of former yard? |
| Description: |
Could there have been a small, three-track yard, here at Rosebud some time ago? The main line, in the center, has been taken up; but I couldn't tell if there was a third track here or if some of the second track was left in place. Additional information welcome. Rosebud, MO: 2-07-2016, looking west towards the edge of town (that's US Highway 50 running through town). |

Missing piece of rail |
| Description: |
That's about a 2-3 foot gap! This is the former Rock Island right of way at Eugene, MO on 3-11-2016. Note also that the loosened rail is not connected to the crosstie. Plans are in place to remove all this rail (still in place as of 3-11-2016) and convert this right of way into the "Rock Island Trail". |

Site of former depot? |
| Description: |
Eugene, MO had a depot at one time. Was this the site of it? The cleared, level area where I was standing made me think so but I of course have no idea. The rails, leading to a rather sharp curve (IMO), were still in place as of 3-11-2016. |

This view looks east from a former road crossing in Owensville, MO, on 2-25-2023. The tracks were taken up in early 2016 IIRC. Plans were to make this former ROW part of the Rock Island Trail but, as the "No Trespassing" sign indicates, that doesn't seem to have happened yet. |
