Sunday in Western Iowa
Author: MILW86A

Went out to the Council Bluffs Train show today and got some action from the local roads.

1. IAIS 0600 Switcher at Council Bluffs. Grow Tower once stood here to protect the MILW, RI and Q. All gone except the RI.

2. IAIS CBBI-08 at Peter Iowa. He would make a 50 car pick up at Atlantic.

3. A Nice treat on the DPU
