UP 6365 Westbound GNSLSSD4-16A Savanna IL

Work has begun to replace the highway 52/64 bridge over the Mississippi River between Savanna, IL, and Sabula, IA. Some research shows the bridge was opened in December 1932, and has around 2400 vehicles a day pass over it. Crews have really opened up some shots with all the tree removal.

 

Here a westbound unit grain train heads out of Savanna. Seen here passing CP 1462 with a beautiful UP leader. Guess these ex-SP's won't be around forever, but man they look pretty worn. Train is bound from North St. Louis, MO, to Selby, SD.
