I've seen so many photographs showing the bridge over the ATSF locomotive depot in Argentine in the background, and now I know what the bridge is for. Does anyone know what the road is? It is four lanes, and might be an early Interstate route.

To get the streets, open up the map, then look at upper left.  You'll see

"WikiMapia" then just to the right of that "View"   Hover over View and you'll get an option for Hybrid.   Click on that and you'll get the arial view + street name labels.

Thx, Dblstack

Them two little burgs (KS & MO) have some serious railyards in them... don't they!

And, thanks, I got to add another two turntables and a roundhouse remnant to my list.  I'm up to 115 now (in the US)!

Thanks, the road is "18th St Expressway" a feeder to I-70.

I haven't used Wikimapia before.

The nice thing is that Google maps and Mapquest have now added similar features.   Really nice tools.  

On Google, its also called a hybrid. 

On mapquest, click on the option for "Show Labels." 

Thx, Dblstack
