St. Louis Gateway Rail - St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Close to the Mississippi riverfront in downtown St. Louis, this camera watches a busy tangle of tracks where freight trains from Union Pacific, BNSF and the city's own terminal railroad roll through, along with the occasional Amtrak train.


Many of them are heading for the MacArthur Bridge, which opened in 1917 as the St. Louis Municipal Bridge, nicknamed the Free Bridge because it charged no tolls. Its upper road deck closed to cars in 1981, and today about 40 trains a day cross it.


The bridge is run by the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis, founded in 1889 and owned by the big railroads that meet here, and it also runs the Merchants Bridge, the city's other rail crossing of the Mississippi.


Did You Know? When it was finished, the MacArthur Bridge was the largest double-deck steel bridge in the world.
