Trolley Track Trestles
Route 66, Carterville, MO
Phone:
Standing serenely in a field like monuments to an earlier time you can
still see the trestles and abutments that carried the Southwest Missouri
Electric Railway (Trolley) that linked Carthage, Carterville, Webb City
and Joplin from the early 1900s until 1939. There was almost 100 miles
connecting the Tri-State Mining Field.
The old intercity trolley line was elevated at this point to cross a
railroad track on the eastern edge of Webb City
