Trains, Trails and Railfans: The Lincoln Highway Near Grand Junction Iowa By G.C. Stevens

 Today was the perfect day for a short road trip down the Lincoln Highway. This stretch of road does exactly what it was intended to do as part of its original design, it created as means of travel when automobiles first took the roads. The original intent of the designers was to create a road that crossed the country from Philadelphia PA to San Francisco while coming close to major cities but avoiding the congestion of those cities. Highway 30 also follows the path of the Union Pacific Railroad and has many great train-spotting opportunities for rail enthusiasts According to The Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway Corridor Management Plan, which was published in 2016, identified 319 properties and districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1966.
