Des Moines to Dyersville, Iowa

Today is our last full day in Iowa. We stop to look at the tallest double rail bridge in the world. There are two now, as the metal bridge has been replaced by a concrete structure. No where near as picturesque. But we do see a coal train go over. Our next stop is at Waterloo to do a tour through the John Deere Tractor factory. A very interesting tour but no pictures allowed. Further east we visit the National farm Toy Museum at Dyersville. You just don't realise how many tractors have been made over the years!! The weather started off a little cool, but warmed up during the day.
