I remember the Chicago Central and it's multi-colored engines coming in and going out of Cedar Rapids on the line along Center Point Road. Multiple lash-ups and lots of paint schemes on the locomotives. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! We will see Chicago Central again in a January 1996 video. Not sure how soon that will be so, to use an old TV expression, "Stay Tuned" 😀
One thing I vividly remember about the IC/CC line through WC and Duncombe in the 80's was how late a couple of the crossings retained wooden "wishbone" gates. Particularly the crossing in Duncombe, because it had black strips on the gate instead of red.

great footage! how unfortunate you didn't have a wind cover for your microphone, though. But nice catch, none-the-less
I actually did have a wind screen on the mic. Obviously needed a better quality screen for the heavy wind that day. Thanks for watching!
