Silver and Old

The reason for my visit to Franklin Park (previous post) was to catch this classic Iowa Pacific excursion train passing through town. It was a thrill to see these vintage "E Unit" diesel locomotives, nicknamed "Covered Wagons," in prime condition and operation. Thanks to Mark LLanuza, "The Wagon Master," for the heads up!
