[CBQ] Burlington-RI-Milwaukee Interchange in Washington, IA?

["Nelson Moyer" <ku0a@mchsi.com>]

While perusing Sanborn maps of Washington, IA, I noted that neither leg of
the wye connected to the RI tracks. This was a revelation, since Burlington
Bulletin #30 states on page 48 that "Here, the Burlington Line connected
with the Rock Island and also interchanged with the Milwaukee which was
immediately north of the RI tracks". The track map in BB#30 shows an
interchange on the East leg of the wye. The 1921 photo of the East leg of
the wye does not clearly show a connection, though the photo is not sharply
focused and poorly reproduced on page 3 of Rails to a County Seat.

My question is, was there an interchange between the Burlington and RI in
Washington, IA? The Sanborn maps do not show one, thought both stubs of the
wye are quite close to RI track.
