Nostalgia & History > Tower Tuesday: Block 222

I don’t know much about this old tower because it was long gone by the time I carried my snooping camera into this part of KCMO. One note of interest; CB&Q 4-8-4 5632 is approaching in the background pulling a fantrip…

1. CB&Q tower ‘Block 222’ in North Kansas City, MO on October 8, 1960.
Original Kodachrome slide by William A. Gibson Sr, now in the James T. Wilson collection.

Thanks for looking back!

Lance, a great photograph, I have never seen a color photograph of this location, and that must be the Chouteau Bridge in the background. KCRW287

Superior scene! Even though this is not a movie, I find myself looking at the tower and anticipating 5632's arrival.
