The signal bridge at mile post 342.6 on the BNSF Marceline Sub was removed today. This was the one just outside Bucklin, Mo. Photo credit belongs to Sam Bailey, photo and information reposted with permission.

That would leave the structures at the East Marcelline distant and Hart as the only two left.  Thanks for the info.

I knew there were not many left around the area. Sad to see them go. I have been meaning to drive up to Bucklin and get pictures of this one but kept forgetting to do it. Pretty sad since I live in Marceline.

Think it's a pretty standard ATSF double track bridge. If you can find the standards for one, you'll probably have them.

While visiting my grandparents in Marceline each summer, I spent many hours standing at the (now-closed) Bisbee Street crossing, looking to the east at that signal bridge in hopes of seeing a westbound headlight or watching an eastbound knock it down.  Sorry to see it fall.  Here's a picture from a nicer day in May 2019.
