Two Union Pacific Railroad freights meet on the MacArthur Bridge on the TRRA MacArthur Subdivision in downtown St. Louis, Missouri on May 21st, 2022, under stormy skies. I really wanted to fly my drone for this shot, but unfortunately this area was a FAA no fly zone for drones.

According to Wikipedia: The MacArthur Bridge is a truss bridge that connects St. Louis, Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois over the Mississippi River. The bridge was initially called the "St. Louis Municipal Bridge" and known popularly as the "Free Bridge" due to the original lack of tolls. Tolls were added for auto traffic beginning in 1932. In 1942, the bridge was renamed for Douglas MacArthur. 

Upon completion, the structure was the largest double-deck steel bridge in the world.

Tech Info: Nikon D800, RAW, Sigma 24-70 @ 40mm, f/3.5, 1/640, ISO 125.
