Typical Iowa meet, Northbound MD-3 meets the Albia/Des Moines local in front of the joint M&StL - NW (Wabash Depot).
I found these two units on a setout track in Albia, Iowa. If anybody knows what happened to them let me know.
As the last rays of sunlight shine thru, a westbound empty coal train heads down main #1 between CTC Maxon and CTC Halpin.
2 sets of helper power set idle at Albia, next to main #1, waiting for another winter day to arrive.
The coal loads may eventually warm someone, but at this point the temperature was around five below, with a wind chill approaching twenty below!
