This is likely The Land O'Corn since The Hawkeye usually had modified GP9s for power.

Thanks for posting this IC Iowa Division varnish. It brings back memories as I rode the Land O' Corn to both Chicago and Waterloo, IA when I was a kid in the early 60's. If you have anymore photos of IC Iowa Division passenger trains I hope you will post them.

You've captured a piece of 1950's railroading in a way that so few have. Thanks for this "photographic time machine." If I were selling tickets to the past, I'd include this in my brochure.

I looked at this photo for a couple minutes before noticing the IC Geep on the right-hand side. Nice catch! Thanks for posting.
