UP 4014 - Big Boy - Raccoon River Bridge - Jefferson IA
Seeing the schedule of 4014's run, I knew broadsides were the name of the game after Carroll. After shooting the 844 here 7 years ago at just an hour or so earlier, I figured this would be my secret spot, as only Stewart Buck and I were here for that chase. I was wrong that Jeff and I would be among a very few, but I was absolutely right that this was THE spot to hit it. Steam-era bridge pilings still stand in the river and Google Maps' measurement tool did not fail me. Old-school knowledge meets new-school tech in location scouting.
