Remains of part of the East St. Louis railyards. The switching yards and freight stations there were among the nation's busiest, and they were wrecked by the Great Cyclone. Among the dead were 15 of the 35 workers at the St. Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute Railroad depot which was blown apart. Other railroad buildings and workers' hotels in the area between the riverfront and downtown East St. Louis were obliterated, as shown here. (Missouri History Museum)
