Rock IAIS 513

Watched them pull her out of the shop, with the doors locked and exhaust capped, ready to be opened up on Christmas day for IAIS, or in a few days at least. No sun today but she brighten the day none the less. Happy chasing to all.

Ah man, what time did they do that? I was there about noon or so, they was moving a gray KCS 2200ish number, want to say ex 4610 ? inside with the SW. I must have been just minutes too early.

The chairman of IAIS' parent company, Henry Posner, is a railfan. When he ran a photographer's special to Council Bluffs with his two Chinese 2-10-2's, he was right there in the photo lines and car chase with the rest of us. Great guy.
