Iowa Pacific Railroad Company Bond

From: "Charlene D'Onofrio" cfdon@hotmail.com

I have a mortgage bond of the Iowa Pacific Railroad in the amount of 22 pounds that was bought in London England in June 1874...from what I have been reading this was common to get foreign backing for the railroads...is there anything you can tell me about the Iowa Pacific and the value of this bond?
