A Union Pacific loaded coal train heads across the bridge over the Kansas River towards Santa Fe Junction on the Kansas City Terminal Railroad (KCT) High Line at on June 29th, 2022. The bridge is KCT’s double deck, double track crossing of the Kansas River. The odd-looking silver towers on the bridge are lift mechanisms to raise the bridge in the event of flooding and are not connected most of the time. The upper deck line was primarily used by passenger trains from UP and Rock Island, moving to and from Kansas through the KC Union Station. Today primarily freight trains use this bridge.
