I love to photograph bridges especially from below which enhances the graphic lines of the bridge. A foggy morning added atmosphere to this photo of Eads Bridge over the Mississippi River at St. Louis.
We are looking east towards downtown St. Louis from a lookout point off the Eads Bridge walkway. Just below, among the upper arches, a light rail line is in use. Thanks for having a look.
Opened in 1874, Eads Bridge was the first bridge erected across the Mississippi south of the Missouri River. Earlier bridges were located north of the Missouri, where the Mississippi is smaller. None of the earlier bridges survive; Eads Bridge is the oldest bridge on the river.
As MKCVN waits at Q Tower in the background, KCS YES412 takes the Eads Main behind a four-pack of Geeps leading mixed freight for the TRRA at Madison. The MacArthur Bridge looms overhead.
The industrial wasteland in the background was once CD Yard, one of three major TRRA classification yards on the east side of the Mississippi River. The yard's purpose was to handle perishables and carloads from the massive National City Stockyards directly to the east.
Legend had it that John Dillinger planned to rob the Stockyards National Bank but reconsidered upon seeing the concentration of railroads in the area which could thwart a potential escape.

Built in 1874, this spans the Mississippi River near the Gateway Arch in Saint Louis. Thanks for looking.
A coal load prepares to pass the famous Gateway Arch in St. Louis as it rolls through a tunnel along the High Line beneath Eads Bridge.
Was walking back to the hotel after being up before sunrise photographing the Arch, when I noticed the mist in the background on the Mississippi river. I tried to accentuate the distant mist by using as wider aperture as I could in the hope that the bokeh would help with the mist I saw and fade the bridge into nothingness. The sunlight helped give added contrast to the bridge as the sunlight was caught by the iron structure.
The Eads is one of the oldest bridges in St Louis (circa 1874 I think). The others are either newer or further north or south on the Mississippi where the river narrows. The bridge is a double decker bridge, with cars running along the top and light rail on the deck below.
Seven shot vertical pano, not really necessary, but I had the 50mm on the camera a the time, but I was tired and couldn't be bothered to swap it out for the 24mm :-).

The Eads Bridge, built in 1874 at St. Louis over the Mississippi, was the first all steel bridge in the world, and featured rail/road surfaces. It is one of the oldest surviving bridges on the river.

Eads Bridge is a combined road and railway bridge over the Mississippi River connecting the cities of St. Louis, Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois. It is located on the St. Louis riverfront between Laclede's Landing, to the north, and the grounds of the Gateway Arch, to the south.
Amtrak train #304 has exited the tunnel underneath the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial (which at the time is what the Gateway Arch was officially called), and is now passing underneath the 1874 built Eads Bridge while immediately starting out onto TRRA's elevated trackage on the St. Louis waterfront. Downtown St. Louis has always been a fascinating place for train watching.
This is the first bridge across the Mississippi River south of the Missouri River. It was built in 1874. I guess I'm on a bridge kick at the moment.
