Remarks: The latest entry into the Iowa Interstate fleet; GEVO 512, less then a week on the property, lays over in the Iowa City yard. 512 and sister 513 (still at Erie and reported to be painted in a Rock Island heritage scheme) are part of a cancelled CSX order.
Remarks: After being retired for 15+ years, ex CP 9251, is loaded onto a flat car to be shipped out for rebuild. Once rebuilt it will see regular service with VIA Rail, becoming only the second remaining RDC-4 in service.
Remarks:Big Berk, Little Berk? Your eyes play tricks with your mind in this down-the-throat tele-smash of the world's two remaining operable Berkshire Locomotives. The PM 1225 appears for all the world to be larger in every dimension than sister locomotive NKP 765, although the two are actually almost identical in design. In this shot, the 765 rides on a track that is slightly lower in elevation, and she's nearly a full chassis length behind the 1225. The long telephoto compresses the depth-of-field and the resulting picture is pretty darn convincing!
