Nice shot, looks like the line to Iowa City.

 Very nice photo.
That's actually taken on the CIC branch which runs east from the main line near Hawkeye Downs in C.R. to the power station near C Street.  The I-380 bridges are in the background.

Excellent photo, JB.  I really don't like that shade of yellow too much though.  Kind of like a faded UP unit.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks Al, I was trying, and failing, to place the shot.  And Joe, it was rare to get the four rebuilt GP35's as a stand alone consist.  Usually,
Crandic added one of their ex-MILW GP9's to the mix.  Good catch.
