Western Railroad Discussion > Recent outings with MILW86ADate: 05/06/25 15:15 Recent outings with MILW86A Author: MILW86A Just a few pics from some recent outings.
Saturday April 19 I went over to Savanna,IL and took my brother for a ride. While at Savanna I heard the Iowa Desk on the CPKC taling to CP 6306 which perked my old ears. So it happend to be a rock train going south to dump 1500 tons of rock at Green Island. First photo at Bellevue Iowa the second just south of town. Edited 1 time(s).

In the first photo where the pile of rock is, thats where the line to Marion, Perry and Council Bluffs turned and went west. Second photo is where the old depot stood, third is at the south end

Date: 05/06/25 17:54 Re: Recent outings with MILW86A Author: AndyBrown Good catches with some nice variety with the foreign power, EMDs, decent looking UPs and the special unit. I like that knuckle next to the crossing at State Center!
