Iron Horse Trestle: Built in 1930 and at a length of 4,450 feet, the Iron Horse Trestle allowed the Illinois Terminal Railroad access to the downtown area of Saint Louis. It was electrified, thus allowing electric locomotives to traverse over it. It was last used in 2004, and has sat dormant since; recent interest in the bridge has taken shape in the form of an elevated rail-trail, in the same manner as New York City's High Line trail.
