Viewing Album:  Muscatine - Pearl of the Mississippi
 
By:Zachary DeVore
Dates:8/13/2010 - 8/13/2010
Album Info:Photos taken in Muscatine, Iowa and some taken in Muscatine County, Iowa. Muscatine's first railroad was the Rock Island in the 1850s. Today, I am not sure if any trace of the former Rock Island exists. Later, the Milwaukee Road went through Muscatine on its line from Chicago to Kansas City. There was a Milwaukee Road yard near the Mississippi River. Later, following MILW's bankruptcy, the Soo Line took over this line and later the CP spun this line off to the Iowa Montana Rail Link. Today, this line is run by the Iowa, Chicago & Eastern but is in the process of being repurchased by the Canandian Pacific. There are also some UP run through trains on this line. Also in Muscatine County is the former Rock Island Chicago-Omaha line now run by the Iowa Interstate.

ICE 4203
Title:  ICE 4203
Description:  This was taken from a walking/bike trail which was previously a MILW industrial lead that is now abandoned due to the fact that the shippers can be accessed from the other side away from the Mississippi River and thus less at risk for flooding.

Cargill Trackmobile

Description:  Note the barge in the background - here grain is loaded from trains to barges (or perhaps vice versa, but I suspect it is shipped here and tranferred to barges to be shipped to New Orleans to tranfer to an ocean going ship to go overseas).

Switch and Signal
Title:  Switch and Signal
Description:  I believe that both of these items date to when the Milwaukee Road owned this line. This marks the entry to Muscatine Yard (current boundaries, where I was standing would have been part of the yard approximately 15 years ago).

Old industrial Spur into the HON Industries Furniture plant and old spur (not sure if this was a MILW spur, remnant of an old line, etc.). There is an old yard a bit past this point, but it looks like the spur in the foreground is still used for one ship
