| A bit of autumn color is present as a city-bound 
      train approaches Forest Park station, as it was called then, in this era prior to Cross-County 
      Extension.  The age of the road bridge again speaks to the former railroad heritage for the light 
      rail line along this portion of the route.  
      A century or so ago the Wabash carried throngs of visitors to the St. Louis World's 
      Fair, located near here. |
