South of Steamboat along the Iowa river there are several spots like this that I'd hoped to take pics of the IARR running with the hill and trees in the background and farm
ground/prairie/trees in the foreground, but that looks like it'll never be.

It seems to me the M&StL (or CNW) cut off telephone poles and put 3 stripes on them for whistle posts for crossings on the south side of crossings. 1 stripe on the north, I thought I had a pic from the north side but...
A little trestle for drainage just south of the derail at what I presume will be the south end of the line after the IARR abandons south of MP209. The only question I see is how long will it take for the trestle to get pulled or will it rot away first. Maybe they will take the trail this far north if approved but I kind of expect it to end at Steamboat or at most where the line crosses the county blacktop.
The village is located at an altitude of 2000, above sea level in the valley of palm trees Mstl State province of South Batinah, and away from home 150 km, passing the road to the village a number of valleys, and requires access to the village to use an SUV.
The advantage of this region moderately temperature in summer and fall, winter, and spread in the village, many of the agricultural terraces where you can find many fruit trees such as grapes, pomegranates, apricots as well as some beans.
Late February 2016, a B&SV tree cutting train made a run from Boone to Fraser, IA and back. The crew stops for a drink from Fraser Spring and poses for a picture on the front steps of the old RS1.
The crossing in Union is marked for 4 tracks yet even though 2 are disconnected. Union must have had a decent yard back in the day.
I had to be in Marsshalltown today and picked up a couple pics I've intended to get but haven't.
In November of 2012 I went on a tour with the M&StL Yahoo group before they pulled up the rail on the IARR from here to Ackley. I always thought about a couple more shots but this is what can happen if you wait.
Built in 1899, this concrete arch overpass is one of the oldest concrete bridges remaining in the state of Iowa
The north side of Liscomb, the siding goes on for quite a ways before the north switch.
Did the M&StL have at least a small yard in all these little towns back in the day?

Alliant is replacing most of the poles and wire on this high tension line. One thing I always liked about this line was the rail right along the road.
The photo of the train garage where my grandfarther worked when he was in-house. I guess he was also out on the road a lot. This is not the best photo, but you can see part of the turntable for turning engines around on either side of the big pole, just to the left of the 1 and 2 garage doors. I will get a better picture this summer when I fly home.
