BICB29-IAIS 516

Iowa Interstate 516, 716, 501 and mixed freight(no stacks) are westbound out of the Quad Cities at West Davenport, IA with the daily BICB.

Lock & Dam 14-January 30th

Got a few Bald Eagles and a Pelican.
There was a layer of floating ice near the shore 
so the Eagles had to feast out toward the middle of the river and the dam.
