Viewing Album:  C&NW secondary lines in North Iowa
 
By:Richard Kundert
Dates:4/26/1987 - 1/31/1989
Album Info:The C&NW had a large network of branchlines and secondary line in North Iowa and some can be traced back to the Minneapolis & St. Louis and Chicago Great Western. I lived in Mason City from 1987 to 1989 and was able to photograph some of the lines.
