A single track Union Pacific Railroad branch line curves in its journey along the banks of the Mississippi River near Harpers Ferry, Iowa. The gentle curve among river backwaters provides a colorful and serene setting. Railroads frequently follow the course of the river on both banks along the Mississippi River's lenghty route. Flowing entirely in the United States it rises in northern Minnesota and flows southward for 2,320 miles to the Mississippi River Delta at the Gulf of Mexico. With its many tributaries, the Mississippi's watershed drains all or parts of 31 states. The Mississippi ranks as the fourth longest and ninth largest river in the world. The river either borders or passes through 10 states.
