These are notes that I am writing to help me learn our industrial history. They are my best understanding, but that does not mean they are a correct understanding.

NKP(Cloverleaf) Bridge over Kaskaskia River east of Cowden, IL
(no Bridge Hunter, Satellite)
Judging from the concrete footing pads you can still see on the east side, it appears the wood trestle was replaced with a steel trestle. I assume the truss was also upgraded because this one looks rather lightweight. The Cloverleaf was originally built as a narrow gauge railroad through here.
