Today, Terminal Railroad owns and operates the Merchants Bridge, the MacArthur Bridge, a rail switching facility in Madison, Illinois, and several key railroad routes in St. Louis, Missouri, and Madison and St. Clair Counties in Illinois.
The Merchants Bridge is a half-mile long railroad-only bridge over the Mississippi River located just north of the downtown St. Louis area. The Merchants Bridge was completed on March 18, 1890, and remains a vital link in the Company's operations.
The MacArthur Bridge is part of a 6.2 mile long elevated track which crosses the Mississippi River in the heart of the St. Louis downtown area. The MacArthur Bridge and elevated track is the second-longest elevated steel structure across the Mississippi River. The MacArthur Bridge was originally constructed with a road deck over the rail deck; the bridge is currently used for railroad traffic only.
Terminal Railroad acquired the MacArthur Bridge in 1989 from the City of St. Louis in exchange for the title to the James B. Eads Bridge.
