    Any ideas on location?

    Somewhere between St. Louis, MO and Newburg, MO.

    Possibly Rolla, MO?

    Cuba, MO?

  3. Cuba area was my dad and my guess.

    I asked Brad too, but nobody recognized the bridge.

    It does look like the Highway 19 overpass in Cuba, MO.

    I do not know what the road number would have been back then.

    Does not look like Rolla, MO to me.

    Maybe Cuba, MO as others have noted, but it does not really ring my bell as being Cuba. Went under that bridge many times when a kid and on up when we drove down to Dillard for a long weekend of fishing, rest and relaxation.

    The bridge underpass is tighter than this one in my memory.

    Enlarged it and the background under the bridge does not look like Cuba.

    I am trying to think of any other underpasses where the railroad is on a fill like that.

    My first thought was Cuba, but looks to me like the train is in a curve and that the stockcar is going across a viaduct itself.

    That shores it up in my mind, it has to be Dixon, MO.

    I cannot decide what is by the stock car.

    I thought it was a building.

    Roy Tankersly was a Rolla Subdivision engineer if that is him running, so it would be strange for it to be Dixon, MO.

    Too bad the focus is soft.

    Edit 4/3/2024: Dixon, MO is on the Lebanon Subdivision between Newburg and Springfield, MO.

    Therefore, if the engineer is as noted, he would be operating on a different subdivision than his usual assignment and seniority.

    Added context to Don's comment about the possible location.
