Just west of Boone is the Kate Shelly Bridge. Great views of trains crossing the bridge over the Des Moines River. A grade crossing to the east and an overpass to the west for more photo opportunities. If you go in the summer bring bug spray.

Boone IA is pretty good. You can stop by the Boone & Scenic Valley RR. On weekends they run a Chinese steam engine.
