Does anyone have any pictures of the old 141 bridge that used to be next to this railroad bridge (and looked just as old and rusty). I think it was torn down in the mid 80s. I was remembering it today when I saw old pictures of the 1982 flood on stltoday dot com, but there were no pictures of the bridge (or the railroad bridge).
