Like the old saying
Back on the IATR, 54 brings a cut of hoppers east over the line. They are crossing Cheslea Creek on a wooden bridge. Descending into the dip made by this drainage, motor 50 can be seen following not far behind. I've been known the utter the phrase "running like streetcars" when an outing provides a fortuitous amount of trains. This photo is the closest I've come to taking a literal running like streetcars photo. Just another day on the Iowa Traction.
The signal next to 54 is the approach signal for the diamond crossing with Union Pacific.October 16, 2023.
