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

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.
