Pacing on US 20
Title:  Pacing on US 20
Description:  Chicago Central ran their trains at a pretty good clip for a regional that had taken over a hand me down unwanted division of a Class 1. Dont recall the speed here, but I do remember having to hustle to catch these guys. I was on US 20 near Winthrop following this 50 car eastbound. I think it was train 30.

Why the railroad exists
Title:  Why the railroad exists
Description:  A Chicago Central train passes grain bins at Jesup(thanks to Dylan for the correction. I had it as Winthrop). The reason for the railroads existence is plain here in Iowa. Every town has one of these, some of them quite large.

Back to the yard
Title:  Back to the yard
Description:  The eastbound I encountered earlier has dropped its train and returned to Waterloo with their caboose for more action. We see the lite GP 9s rolling under the ex CGW at the east end of the Waterloo yard. Note the "GP 20" model plate on the front of 977. This was once a common EMD feature that had disappeared by the mid 60's. I bet there are a lot of these in railfan attics and basements.
