Fort Dodge Des Moines Line Railroad History Summary
Interurban rail line once coal driven and renamed the Fort Dodge Des Moines Line. Originating as Valley Coal and Railway in 1898, it expanded to Newton and Boone Rockwell City North Western routes. A 156 foot high bridge over a Des Moines River tributary survived a 1912 flood with a steel rebuild. Passenger service faded in the 1920s, revived during WWII, and gypsum freight dominates today with diesel power and 200 steel box cars.
