Grain train |
| Description: |
We're getting ready to haul out 75 loads of corn. On IANW, this took two trips from the elevator to Spirit Lake, where we split again into 2 cuts each in order to make "Mount Mother", a 2% grade just east of Spirit Lake. We shoved outbounds for several miles, since there was no run-around at the UP interchange. The fun of shortlining. BTW, the flagging on 8711 is left over from the Fireworks passenger train the day before. |

Last IANW train for me |
| Description: |
My last trip on Iowa Northwestern saw me working the rear of our train out of the truck. It gave me the chance to shoot us running through a driving snowstorm. Here, we are leaving Montgomery with 30 loads fertilizer and MT for grain loading. |

IANW local |
| Description: |
Our IANW local is heading to Ocheyedan in a driving snowstorm. The engineer and conductor are warm in 632, while I'm in the truck following to protect the rear during several back moves. Yes, it's cold. |

Iowa Northwestern Local |
| Description: |
Although I've got a folder for IANW, I think a picture here is also required. IANW was so out-of-the-way that railfans hardly ever saw it running. I worked there, so I had an in. Pulling up the hill in a snowstorm, we're going to deliver MTs for corn loading, and loads of fertilizer. I still can't believe this is now a trail.... |
