I went to Ameren's website and they said they are currently getting coal via a coal "stock pile" fed by barge traffic... It would be nice to see some rail traffic to the plant. I got to wondering when I noticed a loaded coal train with an SP unit pushing on the rear going east through downtown St. Louis taking the wye over to Lesperence Street yard. I work on the 40th floor of the Bell building with a good view of the Mill Creek Valley area and Lesperance street yard. I figured if it was going that route it must be bound for the Desoto Sub. Otherwise it would have gone over the MacArthur and down the Chester Sub if it was headed south. I doubt a load would tie up at Lesperance, although they do tie them down for days near the Amtrak depot at 12th Street. Just a little idle curiousity I guess... Later, Mark
