Rail-Fanning 2019 Vol. 8

BNSF 9105 leads an empty coal train from Sikeston, Mo. (E-SKSBTM 034A) north over the Cuivre River as it enters Old Monroe, MO. on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. The new bridge was originally planned to be completed before December of this year. Now that the river has finally returned to a normal level, efforts to replace the aging structure have resumed. Since this picture was taken; they have added 2 more cranes and will soon add two new abutments. The plan is to slide the existing structure to the side away from the old pedestrian bridge (left frame) and then drop in new concrete spans one at at time. Process should allow traffic to run through during the night while bridge replacement happens in the daytime.

BNSF 6601 leads real rarity on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. (K-Line) just north of Elsberry, MO. complete with a 70MAC. Symbol was (B-MEMOMA4 01A) showing as a bare table but is obviously loaded. Most likely the train was a re-positioning move of containers. Stack trains on this line are like hens teeth....just hard to find.
