A westbound UP empty coal train makes its way west thru central Iowa. The train is passing thru the small community of Chelsea located between Cedar Rapids and Marshalltown on the Clinton Sub. The train has a old school CNW coal power, as the UP power hadn't quite infiltrated the coal trains.
The CNW started receiving 130 of these Z-top Dash 9's in late 1993. The rear Dash 8 came onto the CNW property between 1991. The 8651 became the UP 9755 on June 7, 2000. The 8550 became the UP 9097 on May 23, 1998 and now it is CN 2132.
