MP 3523
Title:  MP 3523
Description:  Couldnt resist going for a uniquely St. Louis view. This southbound working its way along the riverfront is seen through the stone arches of the historic Eads bridge - completed in 1874, it still carries road and rail (allbeit LRV) traffic across the Mississippi on a daily basis. Inaccessable in 82, this arched lower level of the bridge now houses a station stop for the MetroLink LRV line.

MP 3184
Title:  MP 3184
Description:  From the location I have recorded on this photo, this is a run-through on either the L&N or Southern line into E. St. Louis. Remember quite a few such run-throughs on the L&N, but doubt there was any new ballast put down on that line around this time. No real landmarks to help me out. Guess it will remain something of a mystery.

Description:  Really not sure of the date on this one. Processing stamp on the Kodachrome slide said August of 89. Year seems right, but this looks alot more like Autumn than August.
