The Iowa and St. Louis project had humble beginnings, resulting in the construction of a branch line of railroad southward in Iowa from a point on the Rock Island called "Summit" (near present-day Centerville, Iowa) southward into Missouri toward locations such as Connelsville and Novinger. There, the Iowa and St. Louis Construction crews came into conflict with managers of the east to west line running through Novinger, then (1900) known as the "Omaha, Kansas City & Eastern Railway" ( an affiliate of the Kansas City, Pittsburgh & Gulf Railroad).

Cisco Bridges The Cisco Bridges are a pair of railroad bridges at Siska (historically known as "Cisco") near Lytton, British Columbia, Canada. The Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway both follow the route of the Fraser River, one on each side, and the routes exchange sides at this point. The easier CPR route was laid first; when the CNR arrived later they needed to follow the more difficult route. The area is popular with railfans due to the proximity of the two bridges (which allows both bridges to be taken in one photograph, sometimes with a CPR and CNR train on each bridge simultaneously), and the easy access to the area (the Trans-Canada Highway (BC Hwy 1)) is parallel to both bridges down the east bank of the river. Directional running in the Fraser Canyon means that both CPR and CNR trains may be seen on both bridges.
