CCP 1744 Eastbound Coal at West Waterloo IA
A collection of jeeps handles this coal train out of Council Bluffs to Chicago. The train is about to arrive at Waterloo as they pass through the west end of the double track at Waterloo named Susie. A westbound is set to depart Waterloo once this coal train clears.
It's cool that technology has brought a lot of these photos back to life. I just wish we had decent cell phones back then to record video of the sound this old railroad made. Nothing else comes close nowadays.
Scanned negative from January 1992.
