CM and StP Railroad Underpass is a historic structure located southwest of Washington, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. The Warren deck truss bridge is a rare example of this type of bridge in Iowa, and the oldest still in existence. Given the relatively flat nature of Iowa's rivers and streams this bridge type was rarely built in the state, and were mostly built for railroad use. This bridge, completed in 1903 by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, crosses a county highway bridge and the west fork of Crooked Creek.
