Just starting to pull after having a pinion gear cut off ( locked up TM ) The Iowa Northern is coming off its line and getting on the CN Trackage rights.

Dragging its train out a 10 MPH slow order on CN trackage rights it is a short run to Waterloo and home rails.

Passing over the Cedar River with the last bit of sun about to set behind the hill.

Kicking up snow and about a mile from home rail CF Jct.

Two fresh Dash 8's one ex CNW other ATSF

All most had the new paint smell. I am getting a friendly wave as the train passes me.

Heavy fog Is falling out of the sky like snow as the sun shines and all the frost is still on the trees.

First blast of snow from the Blizzard and snow storm in one.

Under a dark sky and a vary heavy rain the L571 gets started on its trip to Fort Dodge.

Passing the swollen Cedar and soon the switches at CF Jct.
