Des Moines Union Railway (Wabash+Milwuakee) Bridge over Raccoon River In Des Moines, IA


If you are here because of the UP/C&NW/CGW bridge, then you need to go there.

Downtown Des Moines, Iowa then and now.
Ray McCollough: Thanks. I don’t realize that bridge had MILW heritage.
 
Christopher Robert commented on Ray's comment
It was the Des Moines Union Railway (DMU) Bridge.
The DMU was jointly owned by the Wabash and MILW.
It was also used by the CB&Q, M&StL and CGW.
The bridge is now a footbridge and is the only remaining DMU structure.
