Bellevue & Cascade narrow gauge in Iowa

I recently returned from a road trip to Wisconsin, and poked around in Iowa narrow gauge country for a bit. I stopped in Bellevue, Zwingle and Bernard, but couldn't find any remnants there. I did find a couple of treasures at La Motte:
Unfortunately, I ran out of time before I could visit Fillmore and Cascade. Does anyone know if there are other structures or cars that are preserved that may have been moved or that I missed? I've heard there are remains of a coaling structure at Washington Mills, but I didn't find my way there.
Thanks,
Norm
