CN 5744 Eastbound M33891-23 East of Winthrop IA
The daily Waterloo Yard to Kirk Yard manifest train has a couple SD75's today for the short 4700 foot train. The train crosses the 32 feet high/321 feet long wood bridge over Buffalo Creek east of Winthrop on the Dubuque Sub. The railroad realigned the track thru here somewhere around 1952. One can see the old pilings from the old alignment that crossed lower, and made for some huge grades throughout this area. Finally...CN power on CN track!
