CN 5693 Eastbound M33891-08 East of Masonville IA
338 stair steps out of Masonville on the Dubuque Sub. This hefty freight train working east from Waterloo towards next crew change at Dubuque. The area east of Masonville is not for the faint of heart as the train does push and pull thru these tough hogbacks. Once in awhile the train will pull itself apart thru here, or give you a nice smack in the ass westbound if you are not paying attention. The train has drop out of Beth in the far horizon and washboard across the Prairie Creek area thru the 7 miles seen here around Masonville. Now the train will climb out of here and drop down into the Maquoketa River Valley at Manchester right behind me.
