Tim Fullbright joined me on a trip to the west end to chase the QJ special from Council Bluffs to Des Moines. Due to its early departure on Saturday, we headed west on Friday to get ourselves into position.
On Saturday we chased the IAIS 7081 from Council Bluffs to Des Moines and even got a bonus runby with BICB.
