An empty Rush Island (RTR) coal train detours over the MacArthur Bridge in St Louis, MO. These trains usually take the TRRA High Line from the River Sub up to the Hannibal Sub (K-Line), but work along that route necessitated a detour. The train re-crossed the Mississippi on the Merchants Bridge in North St Louis, and made its way back to BNSF trackage.
Macarthur Park.
It goes without saying that most people have heard of Macarthur Park, afterall it was a very well known song that was sung by Richard Harris in the early 1970's.
Whilst we do not know exactly where the Macarthur Park which is the subject of the song exists we do know that there is definately a Macarthur Park in Camden.
Among the many native residents of the park is this Pacific Black Duck.
Scientific name: Anas superciliosa.
The park is a haven for many and varied Australian native birds.
Macarthur Park, Camden, New South Wales, Australia.

I hate to say this, but back in 1968, I liked "MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris. So, when I was visiting LA and noticed that the Metro Red Line had a Westlake/MacArthur Park Station, I had to visit the park.
As I walked through the park, I kept singing the song to myself and imaging where in the park the 'crazy' lyrics fit.
Perhaps this man is looking for 'the cake left out in the rain.'

Mary Macarthur (1880-1921) "Angel of the Workers"
Mary Macarthur was born in Glasgow on 13th August 1880, one of six children, but only three survived, all of them girls. Mary attended the local school and after editing the school magazine, decided she wanted to become a full-time writer. She was converted to the cause of trade unions by a speech made by John Turner about how badly some workers were being treated by their employers.
In 1902 Mary became friends with Margaret Bondfield who encouraged her to attend the Shop Assistants' Union's national conference and later recalled: "I had written to welcome her into the Union, but, when she came to meet me at the station, I was overcome with the sense of a great event. Here was genius, allied to boundless enthusiasm and leadership of a high order, coming to build our little Union into a more effective instrument." Mary was eventually elected to the union's national executive.
Mary moved to London in 1903 where she became Secretary of the Women's Trade Union League. She is perhaps best known for founding the National Federation of Women Workers (NFWW) in 1906. She began as president, but then became general secretary. Mary was especially concerned about the relationship between low wages and women's lack of organization. She sat on the executive of the Anti-Sweating League and gave evidence to the select committee on homework in 1908.
In 1910 the Cradley women chainmakers won a battle to establish the right to a fair wage following a 10 week strike. This landmark victory changed the lives of thousands of workers who were earning little more than starvation wages. Macarthur was the trade unionist who led this fight for better pay, commenting that "women are unorganised because they are badly paid, and poorly paid because they are unorganised.
Mary Macarthur also campaigned for a legal minimum wage and she stood as a Labour candidate in Stourbridge in the 1918 General Election but was defeated.
Mary married Will Anderson on 21st September 1911 and was devastated when he died in the 1919 influenza epidemic. She developed cancer in 1920 and after two unsuccessful operations died at home in Golders Green on 1st January, 1921.
