Western Railroad Discussion > CP in NE Iowa - 10 OctDate: 10/14/20 17:59 CP in NE Iowa - 10 Oct Author: Mid_Iowa_Rails After the NRHS - IA fall meeting in the morning, some of us went and chased trains along the CP line. Here are some of my catches. (If some of these look nearly identical to some of MILW86A's shots, that's because we shot them within 10' of each other.)
1) SB grain train with foreign power rolls out of Marquette yard. 2) NB local stopped in the Eckards siding. 3) Local pulling out of the siding onto the main.

2) The same train from the first image rolls through Guttenberg, Iowa.   Date: 10/15/20 10:16 Re: CP in NE Iowa - 10 Oct Author: MILW86A Nicely done. What a fun day!
