Something about fresh paint

ICE detour on the UP 's Spine line to KC,Mo

ICE detouring on the UP do to a derailment. It ripped out a bridge over the Turkey River in far Eastern Iowa and may take a long time to fix.

Sucker hole and the train both got to the same spot at the same time. The one and only repainted SD70 so far.

Working there way West to Fort Dodge and a night or mornings sleep.

Crossing the Iowa River on the Spine line from MStP to KC

BNSF 4010 4906 6521 a SD45B will pound the CN diamonds on there way South in spotty light

Saturdays midday traffic was slow as is the norm

Tunnel shots in the midwest are far and few between. and i will take CN power over the blue GE's IC's

Way under powered today, 1 and 1/2 GP 40's as the 3011 has traction motors cut out.

Just out of Waterloo on it's run to Chicago

Getting up to speed, and the pull up Firth hill

Lot of power for a short line

A midday run is not common on the South job, Needs paint

Running all out with heavy sand, Made for a fine day.
