Beneath the skeletal lattice of steel girders, the Riverfront Heritage Trail in Kansas City, Missouri, cuts through a corridor of industrial history. The repeating truss framework belongs to the remnants of the elevated rail infrastructure that once powered the city’s commerce along the Missouri River. Today, the pathway carries cyclists and walkers under the same towering beams that supported freight trains a century ago, blending the legacy of industry with modern urban renewal. The evening light reveals the quiet symmetry and endurance of this monumental structure, a relic turned passageway through time.
