Classic Illinois Central Iowa image. Would have been a nice one to save to my personal collection if it didn't have the watermark which districts from the image. Thanks for sharing.

Incidentally, the track in this photo once ran on trusses that carried it over a part of the Mississippi River. Check out this photo: http://bridgehunter.com/ia/dubuque/old-dubuque-rail/ apparently taken in late 1880s or 1890s. Note the Shot Tower for orientation.
