EJE 667 Westbound L57591-11 at Valero Floyd IA
The CN had trackage rights over the CP to the Valero plant near Floyd, IA, when it was built years ago, but never bothered for the business. Renew interest in Iowa and business got Valero to sign a new contract, and put in a connection in at Charles City. Now the Cedar River crews work this plant via 6 miles of CPKC Mason City Sub trackage. Here the job pulls into the east end of Valero to setout 5 cars and pickup 40 cars. Somehow 3 EJE units ended up in Iowa, and somehow the 2 orange ones ended up on this job for 2 round trips. Been a long time since pair have been on the mainline in Iowa!
