CPKC Holiday Train-Guttenberg

The CPKC Holiday Train around Guttenberg, IA on November 24, 2025

 Approaching Guttenberg from its Marquette, IA Stop.

CPKC’s tribute to the KCS Holiday Express which was retired after the 2024 season.

Meet Rudy, the KCS Holiday Express engine.

After a stop in Guttenberg-which by the way, was a great crowd from all over Clayton and neighboring counties-the train departs Guttenberg for its final stop in NE Iowa, Dubuque.

Not As Impressive as 11/11

Taken just Southwest of Alburnett, IA

Getting its last spurts in before dying off.

Around 10pm, another spurt of colors make an appearance.

After this I went home.

 

G4 Storm-11/11/25

Another solar flare from the sun hit the earth on Veterans Day 2025 and what a magnificent event unfolded an hour after sunset.

A view from outside my house as it was cranking up.

 

Orion rising in the east as the storm filtered the constellation.
