NE Iowa Fall Color 10-10-20
Author: MILW86A

Saturday was just a beautfiul day in NE Iowa. Before any train chasing was done, we had our NRHS Iowa Chapter Meeting at Marquette. I was re elected President for another year. 

After our meeting we missed a 813 coal load going north, but some of us went to chase CP 374 out of Marquette down to NSS Eckards where they met B50.

7. 375 also known as B37s crew from Mason City takes the train on west towards Charles City. This is from US18. 

8 and 9. Train of the day was CP 475. My first time catching a heritage engine on the CP. 

Thanks for looking.

Well done. I do like the heritage units. Someone did a mild rant on the BNSF heritage units. Call UP, CN, NS or CP.
