Foot bridge over train tracks. Springfield, Missouri - Longest Train Nut Footbridge

100+ year old walking bridge was built for people to watch trains from. It's 562 ft. long, crosses 13 sets of train tracks, and according to the website, is the longest in the country! It is 100% free and really neat when a train drives underneath your feet. You can almost reach out and touch them! Don't forget to give the train engineer a wave! [Tom Maness, 04/21/2008]
