In Response To: Re: Location of Dutchman's Grade (Rebecca Foster)

It is not a grave, it is a section of the Rock Island railroad line probably in northwest Davenport where there was a steep grade. According to some descriptions it was near Duck Creek which would place it in the vicinity of Fairmount Street. There were several accidents in that location in the mid to late 1800s. Perhaps someone with a knowledge of railroad history would know of it. Thanks.
