On the night of July 6, 1881, a raging storm washed out the railroad bridge spanning Honey Creek near Boone, Iowa. Four railroaders who set out that night in a “pusher” engine to inspect the tracks plunged into the rushing, swirling waters. Fifteen-year-old Kate Shelley and her mother, who lived nearby, heard the accident and Kate set out in the storm to get help for the survivors and warn the depot agent in nearby Moingona of the accident. She had to cross the railroad bridge spanning the Des Moines River to get to Moingona, putting herself in great peril to save the lives of others. The bridge she crossed to get help no longer stands. The bridge built to replace that one is known as the Kate Shelley High Bridge.
