| Remarks & Notes |
| I have taken alot of photos off this highway 218 bridge on the west side of Charles City over the years. I would admit I never figured I would shoot a pair like this!!! The CN had trackage rights over the CP to this plant when it was built years ago, but never bothered for the business. Renew interest in Iowa and business got Valero to sign a new contract, and put in a connection in at Charles City. Now the Cedar River crews work this plant via 6 miles of CPKC Mason City Sub. Here the job heads back to Charles City with 40 cars bound for the Valero plant at Tara. Somehow 3 EJE units ended up in Iowa, and somehow the 2 orange ones ended up on this job for 2 round trips. Been a long time since pair have been on the mainline in Iowa! |
