SS President pulls up to Hannibal docks340 viewsIn this great photo, you can see the SS President pulling up to the docks in Hannibal. In the far distance you can see the rail yards.

Legend for the trackage in Louisiana, MO335 viewsOrange is the Chicago & Alton mainline to Bowling Green, the swing bridge & interlocking tower would have been to the lower-right of this photo. The C&A mainline is tied to the CB&Q mainline (green) by the transfer track (blue). The purple was called the "city track" for use in dropping off freight for Louisiana. Red is the north-south Highway 79, which was a gravel road at the time. Note the railroad changes over the years, C&A > GM&O > IC > GWWR > KCS, CB&Q > BN > BNSF.

Duvall Motel in Clarksville332 viewsJust like the thousands of other Motor Hotels built in the 1950s, Duvall was a classic design and in a great location overlooking the Mississippi. It was one block above the tracks (Clarksville main street was behind the motel). The restaurant was still there the last time I went through, but I believe the motel is gone now.
