This Iowa Northern power was working some cars at Forest City, then headed north when they were done, rolling past the Winnebago plant where I was parked. It was a lucky catch, and I have no idea where they were headed. This is a nice looking paint scheme, much nicer than the last time I encountered this road, in 1987. At that time, they were using ex BN Geeps, still in green, relettered.

We had taken our Winnebago to the plant in Forest City IA for some warranty work, and found an Iowa Northern job working on a Sunday. I wasnt able to get him working, I was blocked by trees, but he did come past the Winnebago parking lot when he was done. Nice looking units.
