History Saved         
53 is an ancient steeplecab that was facing scrap. The Mason City & Clear Lake Electric RR Historical Society supposedly had it bought, but when they couldn't hamdle it, the Iowa Railroad Historical Society stepped up to the plate and bought #53. She has arrived on former Ft Dodge, Des Moines & Southern trackage in Boone. Kudos to the Iowa RR Historical Society for stepping up and making presevation happen, when others couldn't get it done.
