Another great video Red and man you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one
Couple nice long trains. Iowa northern power was great. Longest inr I've seen. Thanks Red.
@davidsnider1703 You're welcome David S!
I wonder how much that cost
Keep em coming, another enjoyable video, Thanks, RED!!
@georgearchambault6185 You're welcome Arch man!
You're.lucky that you picked a good day to go out and of course now the sun sets that much earlier. That certainly was an impressive set of Iowa Northern power at first I almost thought it was Overkill but then you turned the camera to the left and it was covered Hoppers as far as the eye could see. I really question if I've ever seen one of their trains that long. Near the end of that train amongst the old cars there appeared to be a former Louisiana Midland LOAM car with the emblem still visible on all that rust. Then the CN rolls out a big train and the old Rio Grande car now is KLRX Koch Leasing with ties to the Georgia-Pacific Corp. Most of their cars are bulkhead flats or Center beams and even boxcars and tank cars but they do have some of these older covered hoppers. That was some beautiful late autumn color along the placid river which has receded even further. Near the end of the train that single Gondola may have had a batch of tie plates while the two empty gondolas will be picking up junk ties as one was still marked B&LE. The badly faded covered Hopper is actually over 40 years old and is Southern Ry which has faded badly and very few are really left in Revenue Service but there are a number still used as idlers on ethanol trains. The Apparently taking over for our green car were 2 big wood chip sized cars marked MWCX Midwest Railcar Leasing. About 3 years ago they got one group and apparently went back for even more and they were specifically built for cottonseed oil service and they do have nice clean tarps. They have cars of lesser quality carrying garbage and scrap metals. The Farm Bureau Report mentioned another large sale of corn including future crops of 2026 to Mexico
@paulbergen9114 Yes Paul I was glad to catch that IANR! Hard to say how long their colors will be around. That Louisiana car has been in their consist for quite awhile now. I believe the longest IANR train I've heard on the scanner was 10k feet. Those Rio Grande cars have to be getting quite rare. Not seeing that tarped AEX car was a surprise for that nice CN manifest. Hopefully the price of corn goes up and we see a lot more grain train action👍
Hello Red, it's a shame that you didn't film the completion of the bridge. But great shots of the bridge. But you filmed a very interesting machine that lays the tunnel pipes, which I've never seen in Germany before. Excellent filming, thanks for showing it and best wishes. Wolfgang
@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530 Yo Wolfgang! Yeah it's hard to take time off work and get some of that footage like the bridge. That tile is all over the state of Iowa. Hard to go far and not see spools of it.
CNW coal hoppers are definitely cool
I C that train doesn’t have a buffer car between the locomotives & tank cars
Well that's not a placarded car therefore it isn't hazardous doesn't require a buffer. Likely got pulled from Trinity where they "washed" it
Hi Red, my ? Is what was the unit mixed in with the locomotives, thx
@ferraritoybox Hey Clairence! That's called a slug. Has traction motors with no diesel engine. Gets electrical from another locomotive.
@ thx Red
Over 7,000 feet 🤔? YUP!, they cleaned out someones yard somewhere!
@@paulsmith5398 I'd say the Butler yard by Shellrock Iowa👍
@redsiowatrainvideos6645 and L571 looked to be nearly the same length..........cool catches of 2 fallen flags cars! (Rio Grande & Southern!)
@@redsiowatrainvideos6645 i dug out my HO scale autoracks, hi-cubes, and trailer flats, theres enough to make a scale train over a mile long! And theres 2 CNW autoracks in the mix!
@paulsmith5398 Sweet!
@redsiowatrainvideos6645 will have to get a few CNW cars out and run a train with the Arrowhead engine, it has sound and all the goodies! Plus, i have the Chicago commuter train like the one at IRM in Union, Illinois!
Awesome Iowa northern train nice CN L571 passing the Iowa northern train in Waterloo Iowa and cedar falls Iowa too red nice stuff 👍
@Diegoiowatrains Thanks Diego!
Storing corn for over a year is another example of a supply chain that incurs additional costs , while the farmer doesn't get paid ( and pays for extended storage ). Brazil, Russia are relatively newer exporters of corn to China , so the US dollar and the US farmer are suppliers of last resort.
hat was a lot of power on the Iowa Northern Railroad train that was pulling into the Canadian National's Waterloo, Iowa yard. The Canadian National's train L571 of 26 October 2024 was a decent size train with a nice variety of freight cars in its consist. That former Dener, Rio Grande & Western Railroad covered grain hopper car is a car that does not show up on a train very often these days. I used the magnifier app on my cell phone to try to read the lettering on the light-colored covered grain hopper car that came into view at 16:14 but the lettering was too faded to read even with the aid of the cell phone app. I am thinking that the car was from the series of covered grain hopper cars from the late 1970s the had the names of grain elevator companies in the plain's states. (Posted on 3 November 2024 at 1903 CST.)
@thomasmackowiak Yes Thomas gotta love the odd Iowa Northern power! Funny to see that rare Rio Grande car on this line. Might see some different stuff on the CN if they take the Iowa Northern over and interchange with the UP in Manly and Cedar Rapids?
0:54 SO... MUCH... POWER!
If you can I would like to see the John Deere plant. Maybe a load of tractors heading out of the load out area. They have quite a staging area for the tractors. Keep up the great videos.
@@tractorguy100 Sure thing tractor guy👍
It’s ALL about the Power. Power Groups a Lot of times have NO Clue what they’re doing when Building a Train. 🤪👎
Nice catches!
Awesome video my friend
@chrisshoulders4066 Thanks Chris!
A nice dry day to see Iowa Northern.........unlike the wet miserable day in Waterloo right now. The Floss? 😂
Thank you so kindly Red 👍
@jeffreyerickson3050 You're welcome Jeffrey! Yeah no drone time today around Cedar Falls. Guess we do need the rain though👍
Hello Red, fantastic filming of the grain transshipment and the great UP freight trains. IOWA is a very beautiful country and very interesting for me. Thank you for the wonderful video and all the best to you, stay healthy and best wishes Wolfgang
@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530 Hey Wolfgang! Thanks, plenty of corn in this state. Most of the fall foliage is gone with the recent rain and wind. We did need the rain though! Have a good one👍
Nice job catching those trains reds Iowa train videos. Keep it up.and be safe out there while you’re there Railfanning please
@SebastianLandrus Thanks Sebastian!
Thx Red , a little change in trains 2 C something different & learn something
@ferraritoybox You're welcome Clairence!
As well as long trains. You never disappoint me, Red! Thank you again, and I hope to chat with you soon. 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤
Another spectacular video, my friend, with lots of fast trains! You are the place to go to see consistently fast trains! I love long trains as well as tĥ
A very nice long and fast westbound intermodal with 2 mid-train DPUs! A fabulous train, Red!! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤
A nice long grain/mixed manifest westbound that included gondolas with steel wire coils. Great catch, my friend! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤
If I had as much wrapped up in tires and tracks as he didI wouldn't be driving that fast on the streets!! 😮😮
The new UP auto racks were looking mighty fine! 😃😃😃!!!
That's so cool 😎 to see the 2nd train stretched all the way around the curve west of your place! I love it! 😃😃😃❤❤❤
2 very nice intermodals to open with, my friend. The 2nd had 2 mid-train DPUs, and both were long and fast@! Great catches, Red! 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤
I have one of the Illinois central railroad switch key from 1942
Thank you for the fabulous video today, my friend! The tour of the yard was awesome, to say the least. The CN train crossing the bridge and running along the river was absolutely fantastic, too! That's always a great place to film. I really enjoyed seeing Walter and Roger, though! 😃😃😃❤❤❤ Thanks again for the video, and thank you for being kind enough to answer all of my sometimes stupid questions, my friend! Please tell Walter and Roger I said hi, and please be careful out there in all you do! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@garymiller5937 You're welcome Gary!
@redsiowatrainvideos6645 😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️
Is that Walter and Roger barking in the background? 🤔 😄😄
Do they ever take cars and convert them to another type altogether? 🤔
@@garymiller5937 Railroads took gondola cars and turned them into snow plows.
@redsiowatrainvideos6645 I guess that would make sense. Thank you, Red! 😃😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why did they have such a big diesel tank, Red? 🤔
@@garymiller5937 Big locomotive shop back in the day👍
@redsiowatrainvideos6645 Is that where all the trains fueled up at? How much fuel does a locomotive hold? 🙂🙂
@@redsiowatrainvideos6645 Thank you, Red! 🙂🙂
Glad you told us it was shipped quickly. Hard to believe the elevator god not have hoppers in waiting. Could be a good sign ? Of a bumper crop year?
Did not
@@tomroise9426 Looked like a good crop to me. Too bad the price of corn is so low. Those piles are very common around here.
"Fast action on the Union Pacific" said no one ever.
Certainly some unique items in today's tape. Two more sections to go on the bridge and they have that look like they came in from Des Moines or Omaha like we've seen shipped before on flat cars. From the ground you would have never seen the disking pattern and I've seen some items on the agricultural reports where they will skip planting part of a field and also perhaps change the drainage. Another one is to plant corn one or two years leave a dormant a year and then do soybeans perhaps two years. Still quite a bit of experimentation regarding crops and land conservation. The odds of catching someone laying tile would be pretty rare so special thanks on that one. Seeing as how it's now plastic piping a trivia item is that the C&NW actually carried quite a bit of actual drainage tile from Southern Iowa to markets in the Midwest especially What Cheer IA. What if the farmer was trying to spell Hi Red's Iowa Train Videos???
🚂😎👍🚂
How long has that bridge work been going on. Looks great.
I've only seen black tile. Takes alot of power to pull that thru the ground. Next farmer is working wet spots from last spring
Bridges takes Forever to Complete and we have the Most Advanced Equipment ever helping to Build them. 🤔👍
Handy piece of equipment there!
Fascinating action Red!
@@nancyhodges444 Sure is Nancy!
I would love to see them install a section of bridge that way!
Red, good vid - thanks. I think that bridge being replaced was from about 1918. Several old spans of double plate girders. Tiling has sure changed from the old days. (Janesville Tap ?.... this sounds ominous...)
@fredtrench5684 Thanks Fred! I imagine they use GPS tiling now too. Janesville Tap is a bar there👍
What do those alien👽 train watchers think of Iowa?😅 Yep, loosnin' up the low spots.
@charleshagenbuch6078 That's a good question Charles! I wondered why he was discing so strangely.
thanks Red
