Not wanting to be argumentative (just a friendly debate), but I'm looking at a Yahoo! Maps hybrid image on the proposed Union - Melbourne connector line, and Union, IA is west of the Iowa River.  The M&StL main ran through the center of Union with the river approx. 4500 ft. to the east (the railroad ran actually SE through town) and crossed the Iowa between Union & Liscomb, then crossed it again south of Albion.  The proposed line would cross the CNW main and their branch as you describe, but bridging those lines would be easier outside the more populated Marshalltown area.  But I don't see that another bridge over the Iowa River to accomplish that almost straight north-south connection would be needed (over some of the tributary creeks yes - I can see that).I like debating stuff that never happened.
