UP in eastern Iowa
Title:  UP in eastern Iowa
Description:  I chased this train halfway across eastern Iowa, getting ahead, then stopping in opportune spots to try and get the all-American train photograph (as you can see, I didn't have much luck on that count.) Five engines on this train, and the third or fourth unit was making a horrible wailing noise, almost painfully loud.
