| Leslie, MO is a small community but it had at least two crossings with the Rock Island line. This view was from the crossing at Shotwell Road, looking east. The curve may be somewhat less sharp than it appears, due to using the telephoto or "zoom" feature of my digital camera. Note that the rails are still in place on 2-05-2016, but the right of way has been cleared. Compare this photo with others of the Leslie area taken a couple of years ago. |
