Listers might find this website interesting. I didn't realize any DOT had this sort of URL page available. BJH
http://historicalphotos.iowadot.gov/HistoricalPhotos_home.aspx Historic Archives Digital Collections"The Iowa Department of Transportation's Historic Archives Digital Collections is a compilation of transportation-related photos, maps and other documents gathered by DOT employees or donated to the department. It is one of the few digital collections of historical transportation artifacts in the country. "
"The collection spans a wide range of subject areas and examines all modes of transportation. Approximately 13,400 images are currently available and additional photos and updates are being made continuously. Many of the images are one-of-a-kind or rare."

Good afternoon. I’ve attached the link to the Iowa DOT’s Historic Archives page, that will show you the U.S. 30 / Lincoln Highway Relocation Film from 1959.
It’s a fairly unique look at Iowa’s transportation past. The film starts just east of State Center at the junction of Iowa 64 (now Iowa 330) and U.S. 30 (the Lincoln Highway). The production continues west along U.S. 30, passing through State Center, Colo, Nevada, and Ames, and ended just west of Boone, a total distance of 55 miles.

Again, hope you enjoy.
Take care
