Remarks & Notes |
The bridge at Sibley on the BNSF Marceline Sub is an impressive bridge from the air. This 4100 foot and 90 feet high bridge over the Missouri River was built in 1915. It is one of the few places were a single track bottleneck still exist on the BNSF Transcon Mainline between Chicago and LA. Here a Cadet, TX (UP) to Chicago empty sand train crosses the bridge on their eastbound journey on a early Sunday morning.
In the background is the Kansas City Power & Light Company's Sibley Operating Station with the 757 feet chimney. The process has begun to slowly tear down this generating station. |
