Western Railroad Discussion > Last IAIS GEVO

Iowa Interstate's last new engine was on IC&E's KCSP16 yesterday; class unit 500.

Photo 1: SPKC (St. Paul to Kansas City road freight) pulls up Letts Hill under US 61 south of Muscatine, Iowa, lined into the siding at Letts.

Photo 2: KCSP with the IAIS unit heads east, east of Ainsworth Iowa, which is the town where Rock Island's "Golden State Route" line relocation branched off from the old line to make a bee line southwest toward Brighton.

Photo 3: IAIS 500 trails alongside Cotter siding.

One more that I liked: After KCSP has gone by, a green dwarf gives the eng. on SPKC permission to leave Letts.
