Since it was warm weather here in Iowa I made a trip to the mainline to catch some action. CNW 8701 was in the mix as well

First was UP 6830 West

UP 2418 was next

A DRGW hopper fairly clean in '08

UP 6461 was next,trying a artstic view

I figured I head over to Grand Juction to catch the CNW 8701 coming off the Tara Sub when I was on my way over I saw a coal train with SP 107 and then this train when I noticed a unit in the consit I made a quick U turn,luckly the train wasn't moving fast and I was able to catch up to it fairly easly here it is west of Bever Iowa

One final mainline train before I sat in Grand Juction for 8701

I lucked out the train stoped for a few mins before they entered the mainline
