Nomad of Mid-America
Good Times at Times Beach
Various interpretation of the bonnet livery--one war and one blue--have the Santa Fe adequately represented against the calm morning waters of the Meramec River at Times Beach, the second of 4 encounters H STLTUL4 18A will have with the Meramec on its trip "upriver" across the Cuba Subdivision in southern Missouri. The Frisco selected a three deck truss span design to bridge the river at this location, the current configuration of which rests on the concrete half of the inconsistently constructed piers left from when the route was double tracked on its easternmost 34 miles between St. Louis and nearby Pacific. Times Beach is more well known as the infamous site of one of America's more memorable residential contaminations, described in detail in a prior posting for those intrigued: www.flickr.com/photos/54360625@N08/31929037954/in/photoli...
