I took the time to head out to the Jefferson Avenue Footbridge a couple weeks ago. I first found out about the bridge a couple of years ago, but only now took the time to go see it for myself. And seeing as it crossed several lines of active railroad tracks, I figured it was the perfect place to take some pictures.

I love the look of heat distortion coming from the engines.
I never knew how truly loud train engines actually are until I was standing five feet above them.

This was the part where I was trespassing. If they didn’t want people to trespass at a place as cool as a rail yard, they would have put up a fence.

I enjoy the diagonal line of the 2nd to last one…also they old railcar is pretty sweet. Did you go in it?
The old rail car was beyond the “do not trespass line” on the opposite side I went on. It was much to open to get away with… sad
I like your pitchas. The drive through animal park is off 44 on the way to St. Louis. It’s about 15-20 minutes down the road. Exotic Animal Paradise or something. I think they changed the name. Loves it.
