Dave, that's what was making the most sense to me.  It's just that I hadn't 
been able to find any mention anywhere of the bridge's construction and I 
didn't want to state as fact something that was supposition.
Thanks, and I'll be in touch.
Duncan

  Hi Duncan,

  From the Baldwin Corporate History, it appears that the bridge was built by
  the Mississippi Valley and Western Railway Company, which was a
  consolidation of the original Mississippi Valley and Western Railway Company
  and the Mississippi and Missouri River Air-Line Railroad Company. The line
  from Canton, MO to Buena Vista, IA (at the junction with the Keokuk & Des
  Moines [CRI&P]) was opened on June 24, 1872.

  I also have an extra copy of Bernie's book that I will sell you. Contact me
  offlist and we can discuss a price.

  Archie,
  Bernie's book has been on my list to get for a while. I keep watching e-bay
  and Amazon for someone who will ship one to Canada.
  But thanks for the lead. In terms of the corporate history that joint
  ownership would make sense, but the bridge was there in 1872 which was prior
  to the StLK&NW and maybe prior to the K&W as well (haven't got to that part
  of my notes yet).
  My best guess is still that it was built by the MV&W, but I'll keep you
  posted.
  Duncan
