IANR 678 Southbound at Cedar Rapids, IA
The Iowa Northern Hawkeye Express rolls into Cedar Rapids as a couple of guys are about to put their boat in Cedar River. The train is entering UP's North Yard on the north side of Cedar Rapids. This train is being positioned for the 1st Iowa Hawkeye Football Game in Iowa City on Saturday, 2009.
The 678 was mainly used on the IANR for these Hawkeye Express Trains and odds and end passenger specials. I see the unit is sitting at Waterloo now, no longer on trucks and about half cutup. I don't know if it's due to a mechanical failure or the lack of need anymore? The Hawkeye Express is done too. Some of the cars were sold to the DAIR Railroad.
