506 and 507 lead the east train down the main in Iowa City. They will make a small pick-up, and grab two GP38-2's before meeting the west train east of the yard.

Iowa 703 idles away as CBBI pulls east. A day after all the snow melted you can clearly tell the IM yard out in CB have gotten really muddy!

The east and west trains make their meet at the east switch. Once 710 clears the main, Iowa 506 east will receive a new warrant and head for Illinois.

506, 703, 705, and 507 thunder up Midway Hill with a lengthy CBBI. Normally if the east train has a block of grain for Cedar Rapids, they drop it in Iowa City. Today, they left the string in the consist and will drop them off at West Liberty, thus the two extra 700's for HP up the hill.
