BN pusher is pushing hard.  It's actually in dynamic braking mode to slow the train down for a meet at N. Star.

The crew stopped out by the mp210 crossing to wait for a meet with the EB, who was just getting out of Iowa City at this time.

Well I was hoping for a super awesome meet shot but this is what happened.  There must've been a trainmaster out handling the switches because this meet went down really fast.

I was really getting tired after working nights, and wanted to get home, so this was my last shot.  I wish I'd been able to stick around since Frank said the Conrail led out of Cedar Rapids, as we figured it would.
