CNW 8701 and CNW 8646 Two of the remaining three pair up again!  Buckeye to Cambridge...

8701-bridge.jpg         CNW 8701 and 8646 pass over an abandoned railroad right of way
                        north of Garden City, IA.

8701cambridge.jpg       The CNW consist passes under Highway 210 at Cambridge, IA.  We
                        called off the chase after Des Moines said he'd be meeting three
		        or four...

bayardlocal.jpg         West of Manilla, IA, the BNSF Bayard local rocks and rolls through
                        ten mile hour slow orders.  I happened to catch this just by chance,
                        as the Manilla crossing flashers were lit up like Christmas on 141.

cnw8701-8646.jpg        A look at the CNW duo at Nevada siding... An MOP climbed aboard
		        at this location and then it was on the move southbound again.

      			Buckeye siding.  

hollow.jpg              I screwed this shot up, which was unfortunate.  I didn't take into
			account the curve in the rail, and the sun was not on this side of
			the train like I thought it was.  Oh well, can't win them all....

			Another multi-CNW consist in 2005.  Unreal!
