Iowa has seen a few solid IC SD70's consists come and go. Today the weather was not ideal, I will take the sun. The past few consists have had bad weather or I have been on them. Today a 2x1 DP-d 338 fights the 30mph wind as they make their way towards Chicago and Kirk Yard. Here the train makes some speed as they dip thru one of the many hogbacks on the Dubuque Sub outside of Independence. CP 8881 in cut-in 6000 feet back on this 8100 foot train.
The reason railpictures.net has captured my imagination for so many years. Images of quality and distinction, in other words, amazing railroad photography.
