CN 3894 Eastbound M33891-30 West of Winthrop IA
With winter in full force, Iowa doesn't see alot of the newer AC locomotives. That stuff tends to stay on the busier mainlines for the AC/DP needs. This AC did make it out here to Iowa on X337 and now leads the daily Waterloo to Kirk Yard manifest train back east. I haven't had much luck with the "100 units" so I made the most of it today. Train is seen here fighting the hogback grade thru Winthrop curves about 30 miles east of Waterloo. The train is mainly madeup of grain which seems to be hoping right now which is causing alot of extras to be run. Heavy traffic today will warrant a X338 to run later.
