Geometry Train
In June of 2005, the IAIS borrowed one of Canadian Pacific's Geometry Trains to check the status of the railroad's roadbed. The train was interchanged to the IAIS from the IC&E at Davenport and taken to Peoria where it ran out to Council Bluffs before returning to the IC&E at Davenport.
