This stretch of track has always been a fascination. I followed the former M&StL line in the early 2000s from Ackley to Marshalltown and wondered whatever would become of it. The short remaining span from Ackley to just north of Steamboat Rock still exists as the Iowa River Railroad to serve an ethanol plant with a pair of California Northern painted Geeps.
East bound... (Amish Farms) (Zoom in at the wagon wheels and note lack of rubber)
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.
Iowa Pacific test train heads westbound on Chicago's Metra Milwaukee West Line at Hanover Park, IL. The train supposedly was to be checking acceleration out of stations and ride quality at track speed, but was hampered by freight traffic and commuter trains.
[Note: new presets for HDR and Finish. Please let me know if I should keep or go back to the old. Thanks]

The USS Iowa as seen from the Harbor Breeze tour boat, 2012.
The Iowa was anchored three miles out from the San Pedro harbor. There, crews scrubbed the ship's hull to remove any invasive species or contaminants before it was permanently anchored at Berth 87 in the port of Los Angeles.

I was driving up to NE Iowa a few weekends ago and I decided to take the long way. Lots of back roads and gravels. The trip took twice as long and was twice as enjoyable.

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!
Iowa Pacific's E8As operated on a section of the original CM&StP route between Chicago and St. Paul as far as Bridgeport, Wis., near Prairie Du Chien. The classic streamliners in IC inspired brown and orange, led six matching cars: a baggage/dorm, diner, full-length dome, two sleepers, and a business car.

One of the hundreds of wind turbines around Blairsburg, Iowa up against a star filled sky. The light writing in the foreground was done by my nephew Grant Songer with a small red light. The dotted trail across the right side is a plane traveling overhead. It was taken this weekend when my son, my nephew and I visited the Greufe farm in Blairsburg. Kids loved having the chance to walk right up next to them for a close look. They were amazed at how tall - and how quiet they are. Thank you to Randy and Sandra Greufe for letting us stop in!
