Image location

A reader donated a nice picture of the bridge. Normally, when there is an infobox and a single image, the image goes in the info box. However, this is a nice panorama, and I think the effect would be lost if it were crammed into the infobox.

I think it looks better outside the infobox, although I'm indifferent whether it is left justified, centered or in some other location.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 22:38, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Paducah and Illinois Railroad, and Paducah and Louisville Railroad, are not the same

The link to the Paducah and Illinois Railroad, leads to the Paducah and Louisville Railroad article. These two railroads are not the same. The Paducah and Illinois was created as a company to manage the Metropolis Bridge. It never had any locomotives or rolling stock, and was not a railroad in the usual understanding of the term. It was formed during the time the bridge was constructed.

The Paducah and Louisville is a railroad created in the mid-1980's, from tracks sold off by the Illinois Central. It consist of a mainline from Paducah to Louisville, with several small branch lines along the route. The P and L, may have some trackage rights over the Metropolis Bridge, but to my knowledge there has never been a P and L train that operated across the bridge and into Illinois.Eelb53 (talk) 13:18, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
