One of my favorite spots to watch trains is West of Boone, Iowa. The U.P. double track mainline crosses the Des Moines River on the Kate Shelly High Bridge. It has been rumored to be one of the worlds tallest and longest double track bridges. They just recently worked on it to allow it to hold two trains at a time. It is awesome anytime of the year. Best sight on the bridge was UP's Challenger Steam Locomotive #3985. Plus you don't have to wait long to see a train(s). <br />I am planning on making a trip to Rochelle, so that may change my mind, but... nothing can beat the mass of steel in the middle of the country on a warm summer day.
