Disused Stations of the Chicago Great Western - Dubuque Fairground to Durango - Part 16

In Part 16 of our Disused Stations of the Chicago Great Western series, we first travel from the Dubuque's main station partially via the Dubuque Heritage Trail to Fairground, at the northern edge of Dubuque, at what is now an abandoned industrial site. We then travel to Sageville, to the trailhead for the Iowa Heritage Trail, a rails-to-trails conversion created in the 1980s. We bicycle this beautiful trail northwest to Durango, Iowa, where we visit Durango's former station along the CGW line, along the Little Maquoketa River.
