Oddities from Southern MO

Post by CIC755 »

* UP puts a crossbuck on wrong:
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UT ... 49,,0,3.59

* Odd light placement on the St. Louis Iron Mountain tourist line in Jackson, MO (May be defunct? I find trees in the middle of the track farther south and no connection to any active rail lines.):
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UT ... 1,,0,-8.22

* Not an oddity, but a rarity: an inverted SORS sign farther down the SLIM line:
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UT ... 2,,0,-0.91

With the last update, Google seemed to do a very good job removing abandoned rail lines from their maps where they had shown an active line before... and they don't appear to show a rail line there... so I'm going to assume it may just be a forgotten stretch of MoPac line that never got taken up. (Seeing as the road near the line is named Missouri Pacific. LOL)
Well, :Censored:
