Switch tower in Louisiana, MO, 1972996 viewsBehind the tower the GM&O tracks go over the swing bridge on the Mississippi river while the CB&Q tracks run parallel to the river in front of the tower. At the time of the photo the GM&O was only a few months away from a merger with the Illinois Central, while the Burlington Northern had already taken up the CB&Q. The tower was torn down in the 1980s.

Twilight at Dameron, MO923 viewsAs the last rays of the sun glint off the rails pointing to the North, its a lot easier to imagine that maybe you can still hear the shrill whistle of a Mikado echoing off the bluffs on this lonely stretch of track, or see the flashing Mars of the Mark Twain Zephyr appear around the bend. At the very least a blinking beacon on top of a GP30 painted in Chinese Red & Gray.
But no...it's probably just imagination...
