Warren pony truss bridge built in 1900 over Union Pacific tracks east of Ogden, Ia. (1717151)* aka Humpback Bridge.
Brand new Iowa 517 backs down 9 track with Metra 213 on a Z037 for Barr. Iowa 517 is the first of 3 new GEVOs on the Iowa and they are planned to replace the 4 remaining SD38-2s. As nice as it is to see the Iowa run a first class operation with the best new power, the novelty of new engines will wear off and I'm gonna miss the SD38s. 3rd out is Metra 213, to my knowledge, it is the last blue F40PHM-2 and it is heading to be rebuilt and repainted.
Iowa Pacific 515, in Illinois Central-inspired orange and chocolate colors, rolls south in the noontime sun with its train on former Milwaukee Road rails past the searchlight signals at Morton Grove. It's the last Sunday of 2014, and 515 and train are deadheading from Janesville, Wisconsin to Bensenville, Illinois.
2015-2019 Dodge Charger belonging to the Iowa State Patrol in Cedar Rapids. The darker color along with the reflective graphics truly make the cars hard to see on the highway until the last moment!

Old house in Iowa. Jack told me that people used to vote at this house when he was a child it's on the edge of Leon in Decatur County.
Carte de visite by W.F. Kilborn of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Though he wears a standard suit and straw hat, the plaid material on the bag and trimmed drones of his bagpipe are likely a tribute to his Irish or Scottish ancestry. The bagpipes are often connected to the British Isles, but they have origins to pre-Roman and Greek times prior to spreading across Europe and the Americas.

Iowa 6988 rounds a curve near Sparland. This train caused chaos on parallel route 29 as foamers were disregarding common sense and parking, stopping, standing and speeding in the middle of the road to get a shot at every grade crossing or bridge on the route.
Since we are moving to Florida next year I've decided to do some back roads shooting here in Iowa. This is the first shot in my "Last Year in Iowa" series.
Struggling in the rain with 4 shorty hoppers is IATR 51. The road between us and the train would normally be loaded with traffic but the COVID19 crisis has cut deep into the AG industry around here and created some opportunities for open photos that would otherwise be nearly impossible. This building is just west of the Casey's gas station

East bound... (Amish Farms)... Buggy Tracks
This set is down Iowa county road C57 from Janesville to just outside of Hazleton. I like this stretch for the many older farms and the last 4 miles or so of Amish farms along the road.
We did detour into Fairbank Iowa to stock up on some top quality (award winning) meats from the Fairbank Locker. If your ever in the area please stop by. All quality meats and see the wall full of the awards thier Jerky, Beef sticks, summer sausages, and many other products have won
Also note that this is the first set with all new presets for Luminance HDR and Darktable. I thought it was time to change things up a bit. If you think the old ones were better let me know.

I'm back from a 6 day marathon/ adventure of abandonment hunting with approximately 1500 miles under the belt. Meeting up with Fotoroadtripr (James) and exploring the dusty northwest of Iowa countryside, then teaming up with Unseen Woods (Jeff and Mary) who so graciously showed us their wonderful county in northeast Iowa. Many adventures and many photographs to process.

Iowa Interstate MLW M420R 800 was leading the eastbound road freight to Chicago as the sun was setting over Iowa City.
The 800 was built in 1975 for the Providence & Worcester and was sold to Iowa Interstate in 1994. In 2005 it was sold to the Southern Railway of New Jersey where it is still in use.
Trains & train tracks are a very common part of Central Iowa. This image was shot at a switch yard in Boone, Iowa

A long Iowa Northern grain train heads at a leisurly 10mph on the old Waterloo RR beltway en-route to the Bryant yard SE of downtown Waterloo. This stretch of track was built as a industrial beltway and was used by the WCF&N interurban company until its demise when the Rock Island and IC bought it out and ran it as the Waterloo RR. This train came off of Iowa Northern home tracks in Cedar Falls and took the CN mainline to West Waterloo Jct. It then headed on these tracks and will take them to the old CGW tracks which it will use to go across the Cedar River and get back on its own tracks near West 8th St in Waterloo
