December 26, 1977 we caught a stopped CR train on the IHB. It had 3 F7s and an FP7. "Have you ever been up in one of these?" the crew asked. Of course not. Which for a CR/PC F7 I was telling the truth. so up we went. They even took us back to the crossing! They gave us some paperwork. It seems it was a transfer from CNW-Wood to Elkhart. I had heard of Proviso, but Wood yard was new to me. 45 years ago. someone is getting old.
OUTSTANDING!!!

Thanks for sharing this. As a big Rock island fan I loved seeing info on its competition in Iowa , as well as cooperation w/ UP. Well done!
