CP 5024 West symbol K70, IPSCO Job, Montpelier, Iowa._

I spent some time with the Williams Boys (Craig, Caleb & Preston) on the way back from my western vacation. Had a great time hanging out along the Mississippi River throwing a football around on a beach. Oh, and there were a few trains to distract us as well. Here is the CP job out of Nahant that serves the large Ipsco steel mill near Montpelier.

 

The Montpelier Works utilizes electric arc furnaces to melt and

recycle scrap steel at an annual capacity of 1,250,000 tons.

The plant produces hot-rolled plate, coil, and slit coil products.

 

I really like these SD30C rebuilds and this was my first time seeing them in person.
