The IAIS board has approved the construction of a new yard office building for Council Bluffs, replacing the existing office and locker room space in the enginehouse. My hope is that the current parking lot will be retained. Maybe a viewing platform for railfans? I can dream, can't I? :-)

Overview of the south (TT east) end of the yard. I just noticed yesterday (12/27/13) that the former greenhouse property west of (below) Harry Langdon Blvd. has been graded and staked now, so I'm guessing it'll soon be paved for additional trailer parking. By: Joe Atkinson

Floor plan. I'm guessing that the "Subcontractor" area, as well as the parking lot south of the building, is likely set aside for the intermodal subcontractor, replacing the trailers and modular units they've worked out of since IAIS startup almost 30 years ago. By: Joe Atkinson

Wall section. Are those khakis? Hands in his pockets?? Must be a visiting modeler. ;-) By: Joe Atkinson
