The Katy Trail from Clinton MO to Clifton City MO

I finished the Katy Trail with this 49.6 mile segment. i had biked 50 or so miles each year at about this time for 5 years. I saw some great stuff in this segment of the trail you will see some of this stuff all over the trail but other things that might be the only time you see one. the Katy Trail has countless bridges and Telegraph poles and stuff i had only seen one switch one crossing one other railroad from a bridge. so here are the pictures and videos on this segment of the Katy trail from Clinton MO to Clifton City MO

The third track is the remnant of the MKT line. It now ends just around the curve seen to the east.

@mikelandislive yea it stops right as it is about to come back into the trail after if goes through som sort of industry

The Katy Trail crosses the Union Pacific/Amtrak mainline at Sedalia, and another Union Pacific mainline at Boonville. The trail later crosses under the Norfolk Southern mainline in St. Charles. On-line towns Clinton, Columbia, and Machens are served by railroads that do not make contact with the trail corridor.

@mikelandislive i know that

Clinton still has a railroad. The old MKT line is still active from Clinton southwest to Nevada, MO. Trains come in about once a week.

The track north from Clinton to Sedalia, which was deactivated in 1989, later became the Katy Trail

This trail is one of the more spectacular joys I have found in MO. Another is the MO/IL Chain Of Rocks Bridge. Luv to see the two connected. Thanks for sharing.
