THREE CNW ENGINES Race Across Iowa

8701-officials.jpg      UP Officials efficiently efficiency test the crew on KAPOA at 
			Missouri Valley... Unfortunately, the second official failed to maintain
			Three point contact as he got off an engine... I'm afraid that's 
			an "act two" failure!!!

			Too bad the sun wasn't like this for the CNW catch....(out of the west)
cnw8646.jpg             The CNW 8646 was third of three in the consist, along with CNW 8681
			and CNW 8701

cnw8701.jpg             First sight of the train was a little west of Arion... The train sped
			along at maximum authorized speed, and none of the Form B foremen 
			gave me a hand in my efforts to slow it down!

cnw8701overhead.jpg     The consist, with a little zoom, heads westward after meeting the 
			Salt Lake Z train at Mo Valley, towards the Highway 30 bridge....
cnw8701wbine.jpg        The Z train speeds into Woodbine, again pushing 70 mph.  The 'fans
			were out in full force, attempting to give chase.

dana-vs-UP.jpg          Railfans get a good lesson on Railroad Safety from a couple of friendly
			UP officials at Missouri Valley.  Forget that, check the consist in the background!

			view from your windshield is likely to be this.... LOL!!
