i am greatly impressed. while i know little of the twin cities area, i do know more about the crossings st. louis to the south. i assume that mckinley in st louis is still open to automobile traffic. the track ran alongside the vehicles. you have done a great job to include ferries. there appears to be some evidence that ferries once operated at memphis near the present bridge sites. the two ferries just south of cairo are not well known, esp. the one at belmont. huey long at metairie la has some interesting aspects. also -- missing are the ferries that operated for southern pacific and missouri pacific-t&p passenger trains near downtown new orleans before huey long opened. mike palmieri operates the louisiana rail site and has information as to their location on the east and west banks and connections to the stations in new orleans. this also preceded the opening of n.o.u.p.t. serving all passenger trains. he has e-mail access, and contributes frequently to loconotes. the downtown pair of ferries would be the southernmost rail crossings of the mississippi river. theo sommerkamp crosstie@wowway.com
