DME 6362 East loaded grain FMCKC, east of Postville, Iowa; Jan 4, 2008_
A former Milwaukee Road SD40-2 leads 3 other Deuces across the Mason City Sub with a loaded unit grain train. These trains were referred to as "feeder trains" as the grains were destined for feed mills in Arkansas where it would be made into feed for the burgeoning poultry growing industry. The trains would be interchanged to the KCS at their namesake city.
