Excerpt from To California and Back La Plata is the highest point between Chicago and Kansas City. Just east of Carrollton the wide valley of the tawny Missouri is entered, which river the Santa Fe follows to Kansas City. At the new double-track Sibley bridge (two-fifths of a mile long and 135 feet high) across the Missouri River the swift sand-laden volume of this famed Stream ¿ows far below the level of the eye, and there is wide outlook upon either hand. On the farther side the way Skirts bold blufis for a considerable dis tance by the side of the picturesque river that is reminiscent of the days of steamboat commerce. Then comes Kansas City.
