The Iowa Northern has leased some LLPX units to help out while their power gets PTC installed. These units have been pretty common on the local Waterloo switcher during the day time. Here the Wloo Switch crew has put together the Oelwein train for the afternoon and takes it out to Dewar to stage for the 3pm crew. The train passes the industrial area around Armour and past the decent size plants of Tyson Foods and John Deere. We call them Smurfs around our house, they need to go!

Class 33/0 number 33 034 leaving Waterloo, 4/10/84.

4-Sub 4679 at Waterloo, 18/4/82. The tail lamp and headcode suggests the unit has arrived from Dorking. Motor brake second S10862S is nearest the camera. This carriage had initially been in unit 4283 and, in common with other units in the 4277-99 batch, it lacked the opening cab window on the off-side, meaning that the headcode stencil could only be changed by climbing across the cab using the footsteps and handrails provided. It is possible that if the unit was to return to Dorking, the driver did not bother to remove the stencil after the previous down working.
