Western Railroad Discussion > Going up, then coming back down.

CP's IPSCO Local from a couple of days ago. If you want something other than filthy faded GE's on the CP around here then you have to go after the locals. I'll do whatever it takes to seek out the standard cab units still running.

1st The local ready to enter CTC territory south of Nahant. (Davenport, Iowa for those not familiar with the area)

2nd Going up the hill toward the IPSCO plant south of Montpelier, Iowa.

3rd Coming back down a couple of hours later with the empties.

Excellent work Angus.

Very nice, we had a national contract with IPSCO/SSAB, never got a chance to shoot back there but
that line was very scenic in spots. The interesting call was at Harsco on the West side of SSAB, they
handled the switching of the industry tracks and always had a unit or two in their shops.

Nice power and great fall light there. Nice to see the IAIS gons too.

Nice shots!

Nice trio! Strange vents on that 6073.

Excellent shots Angus, picture perfect weather to boot!

Air cooled air compressor, rather than the more common water cooled type.

Great bunch.
