IMAGES of ROUTE 66 Taken by Jacky & Mike Smith in 2001 |
The
State of Kansas
Galena
Old coal mining town - now almost dead
 |
Main
street Galena - very quiet even at midday, mid-week.
There were a few shops still trading, like this car parts store, but the town had a dying feel. |
|
Fading advertisement mural along the main street. |

Rainbow
Arch Bridge at Riverton, a few miles from Galena.
Unusually, this bridge is made from poured reinforced concrete, rather than steel girders. There were a few in Kansas, but this may be the last. |
