Classic Rock Scene
After spending the night in Newton, IA, and upon packing up the car to head east, I turned on the scanner and immediately heard the IAIS 510 copying a warrant for the CBBI to head east out of town! Well, what's any good railfan to do in this situation but to give chase when there's good sunlight, and parallel roads?
As such, the final shot of this mini-chase was in the quaint, Iowa college town of Grinnell, where we see it crossing over the old M&StL. Recently, THAT line has been seeing all of the railfan attention due to the presence of a patched ex-SP GP60 on the Oskie local, but it turns out that the Iowa Interstate DOES still run trains through there.
