Have all that frontage on the mississippi for the purpose of, you know, conveying things by river, by water, but when it came to not going north south on the mississippi, when it came to going east west across it, well, the mightiness of the mississippi became a problem.

Louis found itself kind of geographically cut off from the future of commerce and the future of transit. That would be defined by all those new Railroad Tracks. And so city of st. Louis hired somebody to fix that. His name was James Buchanan eads. Eads. He was a selftaught engineer. He never built a bridge before in his life, but in 1867, st. Louis hired him anyway, and he built the city a lifeline. What eads built st. Louis was the first steel truss bridge anywhere in the world. It carried trains, had train tracks on it and horses
