Remarks & Notes

Electric! Iowa Traction 54 sits on the Iowa Traction-Iowa Chicago & Eastern interchange track as a thunderstorm rages in the distance, complete with cloud-to-ground lightning strikes (at left). Photographing trains under trolley wire during a thunderstorm isn't the smartest idea, but the results were well worth it.
