A short stop to close the west switch at Yocum connections finds QJ 7081 at the Amana Welcome billboard.

QJ 7081 stands in front of sister 6988 at Rock Island, Illinois, ready to start a big weekend paying tribute to the 150th Anniversary of the first railroad bridge across the Mississippi River.

It's a showdown! QJ 7081 and MILW 261 have a stare-off in the night at Rock Island, Illinois.

Contractors assemble the driving rods, and perform other set up work on Chinese QJ 7081 at IAIS's Iowa City shops.
