Yes, this is also on Wesley Road, just to the south of I-474’s Shade Lohman Bridge. Your guess as to what the pipeline carries, why and where is as good as mine.

    It’s the pipeline that crosses Wesley rd in Creve Coeur down close to the lock and dam. I think it is for unloading barges but I could be wrong.

    What does the pipeline carry?

    Steam lines?

    I was told natural gas – whether that is accurate or not, I don’t know.

    That pipeline was built to transport petroleum products from barges to the Amoco and Mobile Oil tank farms built in that area in 1947-1948.
