 These railroads intersected at what is now Manning.In 1969, an unknown saboteur used dynamite to bomb one of the rails and derail the passenger train traveling on the east——west Milwaukee railroad line (presently the Burlington Northern) hoping that it would careen into the Nishnabotna river below (fortunately the train came to a safe stop but not until after it derailed).The crime was never solved and no group ever claimed responsibility and no motive for the bombing was ever discovered.
