East Side
It's a nice day for outdoor work on May 14th, 2013, as Iowa Interstate GP38-2 717 has a traction motor/wheel set replaced on its rear truck at the shop in Council Bluffs, Iowa. By May 24th, 2013, this engine (and several others) had been restencilled with PRLX reporting marks. (Photo taken on railroad property with permission and while wearing required safety gear [PPE].)
Iowa GP38-2 717 switches the east end of Burr Oak Yard.

Looks like the old casino may have some character. Maybe it could be restored someday.

Thanks to Brandon in Des Moines for telling me about this location.
The first units in the album become the last as I caught them working the IAIS connector track as I left the crossing area...
Two Iowa Interstate Geeps are shut down and resting in Evans Yard...
