Hi Cyd,
I enjoyed talking with you this morning.
The BRHS Archives collection of Annual Reports contains the following:
Stockholders reports 1855, 59, 60, 62, 63, 64, 66, 76 through 90
ICC Reports 1917, 18, 19,20, 26, 27, 28, 33 through 39, 42 through 45
I have sent a copy of this email to the BRHSlist (CC) to see if anyone has
more information about the Ottumwa Bridge to assist in your efforts. Again,
all we ask in return is a copy of your finished results to file in the
archives.

Subject: CB&Q: Ottumwa, Iowa
Hello:
I need your assistance. I am an architectural historian preparing a document
on the history of the CB&Q in Iowa, with emphasis on the line through
Ottumwa. I am focusing much of the historic narrative on the CB&Q Bridge No.
284.12 over the Des Moines river near Ottumwa. Do you know where I can get
my
hands on a good run of the Annual Reports for the line? The Chicago
Historical Society has a run from the mid 1870s through 1901. I would like
to
see if I can also get my hands on the reports from 1901 through 1910. Any
primary info on the bridge (narrative, technical and historical photographs)
would also be very useful for me.
thanks for your time.
C. Millstein
