CLCX 96101 |
Description: |
I believe this guy showed up at Acca to get some work - according to info I found through an internet search, it is an Alco rebuilt, S2M and is normally assigned to Waste Management, Inc. in Sealston, Va - I believe it was at Acca to get some work done. |

IC&E Trucks Sit under Threatening Skies |
Description: |
No sign of the change in ownership of the line was visible, other than the office no longer displays the IC&E Logo - the crossings still say IC&E rather than CP and I did not see any CP locomotives (I did see a rent a wreck, IC&E, DM&E, UP, and BNSF locomotives). This was basically a precursor to the entire trip - almost no trains and bad weather (very hot and humid, lots of clouds, thunderstorms, and rain). You just have to love Iowa in August. I had much better luck taking pictures here in May two years ago. |

If only it had a DPU |
Description: |
or if I would have actually saw a train going north - but I'll have to keep this spot in mind for later (it turns out that the rest of this trip had lousy weather and no NB trains other than locals so maybe next trip - or maybe someone else can catch a train there in good conditions (you have a limited window of good lighting because of the arrangement of the tracks in Muscatine along the river, you pretty need a train to come exactly at the right time) |

Diesel Not a Dirty Word Accoding to Audi, Still a Dirty Word According to GE |
Description: |
This isn't the worst billboard ever (nothing could beat the CNN Headline News billboard Glenn Beck Show with "CUT THE CR*P" with * replaced by Glenn Beck's head - seriously, it made his book jacket where he was wearing a military jacket and looking like the Fourth Stooge look like an intelligent move), but its close. The message of clean diesel technology gets lost when blocked by diesel exhaust. |

UP 6712 |
Description: |
Visible is one of the last (of what was once hundreds) of pearl button (they used to use real pearl, but since the 1950s use plastic or nylon) factories once located in Muscatine. Too bad this isn't still in full C&NW OLS Paint! This by the way was the only train in decent light I saw the entire trip, so enjoy. |

UP 5992 |

MidAmerican Energy Company, Powder River Coal - I believe that the destination is the Louisa Generating Station just south of Des Moines, it travels over the CP/IC&E from Clinton to Muscatine - you have to wonder how long this train will continue operated by UP given that MidAmerican Energy Compay is owned by Berkshire Hathaway which is also buying BNSF) |

ICE 103 |
Description: |
After taking this photo, I was confronted by a rent a cop from Monsanto because they had locked out their workers and don't want any photos taken near their factory due to "labor strife." Silly Monsanto, haven't you heard that stopping people from taking photos from public roads equals nothing but bad publicty. |

Shelley, my Jack Russell Terror does this whenever we are on this bridge - one of the re›rons why I go there for photos - Shelley gets to watch the trains without me havilg to hold her to keep her from trying to chase them.

Still Standing.Proud - but not for much longer after this photo! |
Description: |
I'm not sure how old these crossing signs were but most button copy highway signs dated from the 1950s or 1960s - they were the earliest reflective signs for better visibility at night |
