UP 6936 RRHMA Excursions - Approaching Silvis

Remarks: The Railroading Heritage of Midwest America organization operated two days of excursions with restored DDA40X "Centennial" locomotive #6936, with Iowa Interstate providing ES44AC #513 for backup. The trainset operated one round trip per day - west towards South Amana, IA on 9/20 and east to Bureau Junction, IL on 9/21, both trips originating in Silvis, IL.

 

Here, the Bureau Junction trainset approaches Silvis, passing IAIS CBBI that had been waiting for the special to clear the track ahead.
