Though early settlement in Iowa followed the rivers, it was the
advent of the railroads, starting in the late 1850s, which opened
up the remainder of the state for development -- bringing goods to
residents and sending their crops and products out to the world.
Railroads formed the backbone of middle America, with dozens of
trains -- freight and passenger -- reaching out to nearly every
small town in the region. This collection of photographs from the
1800s to the present day celebrates the railroads and railroaders
of southeast Iowa.
