Western Railroad Discussion > CN Cedar Rapids-Manchester IA Local

Was back home to see the folks this weekend, and on Saturday, I heard the CN getting ready to depart Cedar Rapids IA for Manchester. So lo and behold, what do I get for power? A single NS toaster and not a very big train.

First photo is taken coming out of the yard near downtown Cedar Rapids. Second is at Emmons St in Hiawatha(orignally called Louisa, a town on the Milwaukee Omaha Main). 3rd, with a short train, the crew left another NS and a CSX motor in Cedar Rapids.

I dont think the local works Sunday, so look for them to go north Monday perhaps.

Happy Easter.

Like all three Pics. The NS scheme gives it a back east gritty look. Looks good even for this western board fan sitting here in the middle of Iowa.


Cheers
