I am modeling the Newton & Northwestern which became the Ft Dodge Des Moines & Southern. A friend created the terain for me using DEM. However, it is difficult to tell exacty where the tracks should go. Some of them were laid in 1906 and abandond in 1912.
I discoverred this website that has 1930's aerial photograhs of most of the counties in Iowa. they can be zoomed in to 1 pixel = 0.5 meter

I found the road bed for that line that was abandoned in 1912!
This is a great resource for locating those early rail lines in Iowa.
