Rain and Trains

CN 5700 passes by Hiawatha with only one car.

Better than none.

The rains moved in after my CN meet. Here, a westbound

merchandise train passes a Beverly Job in the south-side

section of Beverly Yard.

UP 7603 west at Fairfax with a stacker.

IAIS 500, 513, 102 cars and 508 on the rear; pull

away from the interchange tracks southward near 

Fairfax, IA.

CRIC02 passing the Fairfax station post.

CRIC02 coming into Walford, IA

Remember last week's photo of this cornfield?

This week it got harvested as CRIC02 passes near

East Amana, IA.

CRIC02 at East Amana.

CRIC02 enters homerails at OS Yocum. One interesting

note is the contrast of the rainclouds in the background.

Lighter clouds meaning lighter rain and a darker cloud

meaning heavy rain.

CRIC02 passing Homestead in the rain.

CRIC02 rounds the curve near Eagle Rd with the rain

beating down.

Barely made it to get this shot at the Iowa River bridge.

Head-on shot of IANR 678 in the hole at Vernon.

Hawkeye Express waits for the next home game.

One of the six cars that serve up the Hawkeye Express.

The car numbers are--IANR 7743, 7723, 7750, 7704,

7735 & 8704. The lead unit is IANR 678.

The rains got heavier and so ended my day out.

See ya next time!!!
