Kate Shelley High Bridge

Boone, IA

A massive railroad bridge spans the Des Moines River valley near the site associated with Kate Shelley's famous 1881 rescue story. The current bridge remains active railroad infrastructure, so OddWay travelers should view only from lawful public locations and never enter the tracks.
