What was the exact route from north of Liberty down to (a) Union Station,
and (b) Armourdale, prior to the opening of the Truman Bridge in 1948.

Did RI trains ever operate over Chouteau Bridge--prior to 1931, or
course.   Was CB&Q involved in any of regular routing, other than trains
getting by Ustick Tower. 

Sorry, I did not come here until 1965 and permanently so in 1969.  :(
