Harry S. Truman Bridge (Kansas City, Missouri)

 truss bridge, railway bridge, vertical-lift bridge / lift bridge

The Harry S. Truman Bridge was constructed by the USACE and opened during May 1945. It allowed the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad to abandon Choteau Bridge as it's entry into Kansas City. The bridge was also part of a new Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad line into the city, replacing trackage rights over the CB&Q. CMSP&P was acquired by the Soo Line Railroad during 1985, who sold their portion of the bridge to I&M Rail Link in 1997. I&MRL was acquired in 2002 by Iowa, Chicago and Eastern Railroad, one of the two current users of Harry S. Truman Bridge. The CRI&P share went to the Chicago and North Western in 1983, now part of Union Pacific. America's railroads built 32 crossings over the Missouri River, of which 23 remain in use.
