IANR 3800 Southbound North Crew South of Rock Falls IA
The Iowa Northern's North Crew slowly rolls south on the Manly Sub outside of Rock Falls. The crew will stop and do work at Nora Springs (Stouffer) in a few miles. The train is getting hefty as the crew will be around 80 cars leaving Nora bound for the next stop at Butler, and then onto Waterloo.
The Wilkinson Pioneer Park on the right was closed due to the snow, but a cool old covered bridge sits along the Shell Rock River. This is bridge #2 since the original was built in 1969, modeled after the covered bridges in Madison County near Winterset, IA. Too bad trees are getting too bad to get anything decent with the trains. Need a good tornado to whip out some trees.
