CP 9017 Southbound AHAKS at Cambridge IA
There were a few things throughout my photography career I never seemed to be in the right place to shoot. These CP Barns were one of those things. I did finally find one in my scanning process! The UP got the Ford contract out of St. Paul after the IC&E couldn't compete with it. The trains ran down the Spineline from Dayton Bluffs to Kansas City on the UP as AHAKS. They were usually daylight trains through Iowa. Here one closes in on Des Moines as they pass through Cambridge. The bridge abutments are what's left of the old MILW mainline from Green Island to Council Bluffs.
