CEFX 1041 Westbound B42 on Jordan Spreader East of Duncan IA
A Major storm hit the Midwest on Saturday February 23rd. The storm dump rain, ice, and snow, followed by high winds. The result left the westside of the state of Iowa in complete disarray. Railroads scrambled to keep lines opened and many were drifted in. The CP ran a wedge plow west on Monday night out of Mason City towards Spencer. West of Cylinder the plow left the tracks in a violate 30 mph derailment. Lucky for the crew, the power stay on the track! Now a Jordan Spreader has left Mason City on Tuesday afternoon to keep trying to get the line open, especially to Hartley where unit trains are needed to be brought in and out. Unfortunately for me a hydraulic issue wasn't letting the crew work the plow, so they were just traveling west. So I cheated and did a crossing drift for some action.
