Of the street views that were available, this was the lowest river level that I could find.

Christopher Bodkin posted 20 photos with the comment: "Drone photography of the GM&O (now CN) bridge over the Kaskaskia River at Baldwin, IL April 6, 2025."
Jeff Shook: How many trains run on this line?
Scott Nauert: Jeff Shook Tuesday & Friday L588 on this end.
Christopher Bodkin: L588 which services Kaskaskia Dock #2 just past the western approach. Hence why CN still utilizes this bridge.
