The images at Sikeston were taken by Wayne Leeman, a Post-Dispatch reporter/photographer. I used several of Wayne’s images in the book besides the Sikeston series. He rode a transfer run across MacArthur Bridge, shot helper service from 23rd Street yard to Valley Park in the 1940’s, documented the coal fields and local on the Mount Vernon Branch plus other great scenes. After Wayne retired he gave his railroad negatives to Joe.
