The Kansas City, Clay County and St. Joseph Interurban Electric Rail ran from 1913 to 1933. It started in Downtown Kansas City heading northwest to St. Joseph, and northeast to Excelsior Springs in North Kansas City. There are several old Luten style arch bridges still standing on the old routes. For more information about this rail line go to: http://www.interurbanroad.com/. Ed Gentry has done extensive research and has some wonderful details and photos of the cars, stations and bridges.
This bridge (northeast of Liberty) is on private land but is very visible from the cache. There was no station near this bridge but further northwest on Highway H is Clarksboro Substation on the way to Mosby and Prathersville and the final stop - Excelsior Springs.
The property owner has a lovely prairie grass garden. Please be careful when searching for the cache - a small rubbermaid l-n-l container on the edge of the prairie grass garden. Please cache in daylight hours only.
