River Bend School District Office/CB&Q Depot
This would have been the track side because it has the bay window for the agent's desk. I wonder if the railroad or the school district built the addition.

D-X Gas Station
I found this one while "driving" through town trying to find the depot.
Are those gas prices on the left from the 1960s or 70s?

UP/C&NW Railyard
Fortunately, I had studied this topo map to find CB&Q before I saw the railyard so that I knew that C&NW tracks used to go North and then East.

Since 1894, both C&NW and CB&Q built cutoffs that avoided going out of their way to Fulton. By 1958, C&NW had already abandoned their old route except for the yard. And today, the original CB&Q route is just some treelines and an embankment on the north side of town. It looks like that embankment still functions as a levee.

| 1958/68 Davenport Quad @ 250,000 |
A Bunge river port is nearby, but given the variety and density of cars in the yard, I think UP is using this as a car storage yard.

General
Parts of their downtown have preserved the "river era" Italianate architecture.

While looking for the depot, I also noticed this suspension bridge while on the IA-136+IL-136 Bridge. It is the 1956 US-30 Gateway Suspension Bridge.
