While the DS got "work with the EMDX 760 and IC&E 114 on the BNSF industrial track", he failed to mention this guy also fouling the limits. (Yes, as my dad said, you know you're bored when you start shooting pigeons.)

Two and a half hours after we first found him in Silvis, 513 and train are underway again at East Moline. There's now a large cut of empty ethanol tanks on the front end.

Further down the BNSF industrial track, between East Moline and Moline. The light's starting to fail us.

Somewhat unexpectedly, 513 stopped at the west switch of the Moline siding. Turns out I'd missed them setting up a meet with 154 east.

And we're out of light - the faintest of last rays catch the train coming through Moline.

Okay, so we weren't quite out of light. There was one more spot at the "Have a Happy Day" bridge that was still lit. By the time he made Walcott about 30 minutes later, it was dark.

On my way back to Colorado on Wednesday morning, I met this eastbound just out of Atalissa, kicking up a mightly cloud of fine snow.

As I got closer to Iowa City, I heard 508 call out from Hawkeye that he was coming through the yard. Turned out to be an ethanol load coming into town.

While running back and forth between the depot and the yard, I found this CRANDIC Pettybone out clearing snow.
