	In 1877 hope arose in Dubuque that the city could be tied to the Iowa Pacific. It meant changing the Iowa Pacific into a narrow gauge and using a route that had not previously been seriously considered. The route would have the Dubuque feeder line, a narrow gauge, leave the city by way of the Chicago, Dubuque and Minnesota tracks as far as the [[BEE BRANCH]]. It would then proceed up the Couler Valley to Thompson's Mill and then follow the north branch of the Maquoketa River to Holy Cross. Proceeding westward to Strawberry Point, it would follow a third rail on the Davenport and Railroad to Fayette where it would tie into the Iowa Pacific. It was estimated that with $5,000 per mile it could be developed to Belmond where the line would meet another narrow gauge that would take it into Fort Dodge.
