De Soto Railroad Bridge
Posted February 16, 2006, by Steve (Gokcblades [at] aol [dot] com)

This Railroad bridge is not Abondoned. Trains still cross this bridge about twice a week. Although Trains no longer cross this bridge to the old Sunflower Ammo plant, Trains still cross to deliver Freight cars to industry plants.
