Any word from back there,if and when that former CGW bridge across the Cedar River in downtown Waterloo That the Iowa Northern used will be replaced? Was back there in September for a high school grad.reunion, the remains still laying in the river?

On the bridge question, talk is hoping that construction will begin sometime this winter or early next spring. There was a recent article about it in the Des Moines Register. You can find the story on Iowa Northerns web page: wwww.iowanorthern.com

As for the passenger train, the consist will be from north to south: IANR 4002/Private Car/the 6 Hawkeye Express Cars with the cab control car next to the private car/and IANR 678.
