Viewing Album: St. Louis MetroLink - St. Louis County and City
By:
James Hess
Dates:
12/13/2012 - 7/18/2014
Album Info:
This album is a collection of photos of the St. Louis MetroLink passing through different spots along the Red and Blue lines in St. Louis City and County. PLEASE use caution if you ever wish to take photos of MetroLink. Their policy says they allow it in "public areas" of Metro's system. They do however have a policy that says "no taking pictures of infrastructure" and a lot of their employees think their private policy has legal authority outside their property lines. They do not own the County and City right of ways. They're pretty camera shy and awfully sensitive about people taking pictures of anything that's their property so railfan this system at your own risk.
