- First off, thank you for 500 subscribers!
In August, before I was to start my senior year at The University of Iowa, I moved into a new apartment located near the old Rock Island depot in Iowa City. While this didn't increase the number of trains I saw by that much, it made it a lot more convenient. This semester saw a lot of unique moves, including NS grain trains, SD38-2's, two UP donation moves to Silvis, two huge steam locomotives, the FRA and CN track inspection trains, a passenger special, and all the normal traffic from the Iowa Interstate.
I have a fair amount of new videos waiting to be posted, so keep on the lookout for more uploads in the near future, including my 2022 recap video. Thanks again!
Great video of Iowa Interstate trains.
Nice video, do you know how many trains come through a day on the Iowa Interstate through Iowa City?
Four road trains per day, plus the switcher from South Amana that comes out here a couple times per week.
I rather prefer working for class 2 railroads then class 1.
Great catches there man!
hello, I am staying in iowa city near the iowa interstate mainline, I was wondering if it is worth going to railfan down there?
There are typically four trains per day. If you want to know when westbounds come through, check the Steel Highway Railcam in West Liberty, IA. Trains that pass there come through Iowa City 30 minutes later.
@@thehawkeyerailfan9406 thanks man
@@thehawkeyerailfan9406Ik this is pretty old but which direction of trains that pass through the railcam come through Iowa city?
Nvm I just read your reply again
Was that the U.S. Department of Transportation car?
The heck is a Canadian National inspection car doing on Iowa Interstate rails?
Twice a year a CN inspection train comes across the IAIS. Sometimes it's the RDC, in June it was a CN GP40 and an inspection car. It runs across the CN from Chicago to Council Bluffs and then goes on the IAIS from Council Bluffs to Peoria and returns to CN rails.
@@thehawkeyerailfan9406I only saw it one time in 2022
