As we leave Union Station, to the left is the City of St Louis and the St louis Cardinals Baseball Statium.

After passing the Cardinals Baseball Stadium, a view of the Bridge we will soon be on comes into view. This is the TRRA MacArthur Bridge.

These are TRRA tracks that lead to a Wye and the Union Pacific Lesperance Yard, and on the left side the BNSF Hannibal Subdivision.

A TRRA Signal Maintainer is at work up high on one of the elevated down town TRRA track sections.

Track on left goes to Down Town St Louis Yard, then UP and BNSF subdivisions, track on right goes past the Arch to North St Louis and to Illinois over the Merchants Bridge.

This view shows how most of the roads in this area of East St Louis Illinois are elevated, and the railroad track dominate the ground.
