Western Railroad Discussion > Some Engines in the Yards at Eddyville, IowaDate: 12/04/16 17:44 Some Engines in the Yards at Eddyville, Iowa Author: Agent Back on Tuesday, I took a chance to swing by Eddyville, Iowa to see what I see what there was to see. The first stop was the Cargill yard which is switched by Railserve, Inc. I don't know all the models of the engines I saw were, so feel free to say if you know.
1-3) RSSX 2255 moving some cars in the Cargill yard. Looks like one of Railserve's LEAF Gen-sets, but I don't know its model designation would be.

6) A look at most of the other engines that were in the yard.    Date: 12/04/16 18:16 Re: Some Engines in the Yards at Eddyville, Iowa Author: Agent 7) GP7 RSSX (ex-CNW) 4155
8) GP9 RSSX 1700 9) GP10 RSSX (ex-IC) 8358    Date: 12/04/16 18:40 Re: Some Engines in the Yards at Eddyville, Iowa Author: Agent 10) RSSX 577 had its headlight on, but it didn't move while I was there. I don't know what type of engine this is.
11-12) In case you though there were too many stacks in photo 9, the GP7 RSSX 754 was behind the 8358. I couldn't get a good angle on it though. 8358, 4155, and 754 were the units switching cars around the last time I was here. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/11/21 08:36 by Agent.

JC Posted from Android Date: 12/04/16 18:54 Re: Some Engines in the Yards at Eddyville, Iowa Author: Agent 13-14) The other stop I made was at the small yard, if you can call it that, along the Cargill Spur that connects with the BNSF mainline just south of Eddyville. The locomotives that were idling away here were probably waiting to be used on the local later that evening.
