I went to a Traffic Conference in St. Louis, Missouri in 1999, which is where I got this particular photo.
Our hotel overlooked the Gateway Arch and of course, the mighty Mississippi. Over the space of 3 days we lived through much weather we are not used to, including a major electrical storm.
We West Coast dwellers were mesmerized by it all, especially being so close to the very large lightning rod across the street.
On the Texas Eagle, almost 15 years later, we passed the arch once again, with no stop.
It reminded me how much I enjoyed the gateway to the west and, of course, Amtrak can get you there and back.
It's well worth your time to see.
