IAIS Engine 705 and NS 9019, Des Moines IA |
| Description: |
IAIS Engine 705 and NS 9019, parked under Fleur Ave bridge, downtown Des Moines IA; interesting partners in Des Moines railroading history. N&W acquired the Des Moines Union Railway, a formerly extensive and winding presence through downtown Des Moines, by first purchasing the entire Wabash outright, and then purchasing the Milwaukee Road portion of DSM tracks as that line went off to the SOO. Thus, upon the merger of N&W and SR, NS became owner of the extensive DMUR tracks winding throughout the city, and the large yard downtown. Similarly, IAIS bought up much of the CRI&P mainline through the state, and rehabbed a prominent track through the center of Des Moines - the CRI&P being the jewel of Des Moines rail. Now, some 35 years after the collapse of the great RI, and 30 years after the DMUR ceased, these two dogs are still running together; one big pup, the other small, but both quite busy. |

"Little Wabash" depot, aka "Little Union Station", Des Moines IA |
| Description: |
"Little Wabash" depot, aka "Little Union Station", view northwest from abandoned DMUR tracks, Des Moines IA; this depot only lasted about five years before being converted into storage. It now sits in ruins, partially open to the elements and easily accessible by drifters. Regarding the name - this depot was built on the Des Moines Union Railway tracks as a secondary depot to the much larger Union Station downtown between 5th and 6th, across from the Court House. The DMUR was 50/50 owned by the Wabash and the Milwaukee Road, operating as a city switch road to service local industry, and provide yards and tracks between the two Class I roads. In any case, rather than call this depot the "Little Union Station" many refer to it as the "Little Wabash" depot, after one of the DMUR owners. It's been inactive so long, I don't think anyone knows its true name. |
