Ice Jam


 Big time ice jam on the Cedar River.








A possible Eagle's nest.


The ice jam caused the water from Cedar Lake to back into CN's  A & B Yards.


Video of the ice jam along the Cedar River.

Family Outing

Our day out at Wasserbaun Waterpark near Williamsburg, IA








Went to Tanger Outlet next. The kids cuddle up to Truffles the Bear.

Took the backroads home and went by the Ellis Park area and water was still up near Edgewood Rd NW.

Manhattan Park under water. The Winter thaw has started, so has the ice jams.

RxR--Today's catches

An old light that was probably used when the Milwaukee Road owned the railyard, now owned by the CN. This sits behind Cargill NE's offices.

CN L563's power was 5283(widecab).....

and 5738.

L563 working International Paper at Shaver.

A delivery from the Iowa Interstate-a big dryer from Davenport Dryer sitting in Wilson Yard.

Did not catch which CRANDIC job this was but he was working the southend of the "P" yard.

Heard this guy departing town. CRSA06 at Fairfax, IA.

CRSA06 entering Walford, IA.

Lucky for me, the "bird" flew in to town with 5 units. Flying by Otis.
