Wow fantastic video of this RR operation. Jenny and I want to get out to see them very soon. Enjoyed watching and will watch it again when Jenny gets home from work. Have a wonderful upcoming weekend.(Steve)
Hopefully the STB dejects CN's plan to takeover them. Definitely would be sad to see what is basically Iowa's EJ&E suffer a similar fate at what was one of the Midwest's most popular Class 2's
I want to film the railroad in case the CN does take over. Though, I am fairly new to filming trains and are there any good spots to set up from Waterloo to Manly? Also, Great catches!
The best places to find their trains are at the yards. The main yard in Waterloo is right along Texas St, Butler Yard is on Old Hwy 3 in Shell Rock, and the yard in Manly can be seen from E Harris St.
How old are you turning this year? Ill be 26 years old . nice video footage of the Iowa northern railwsy. Did you see the steel highway rail cam in cedar falls junction!
It's pretty random. I saw them leave around 4pm, but they've left at 1am before. There is a Steel Highway rail cam in Manly that is helpful for getting timing on when they leave.
Good lord, the side to side rocking in the Plymouth, IA shot is amazing. I wonder if the crew gets a little nervous.
It’s supposed to be getting the welded rail put in soon. For the meantime we just gotta enjoy the ride and go Weeeeeeee!
@IANR3808 the crew must have necks like bobbleheads!
@@IANR3808 That does sort of sum it up doesn't it. LOL

Thanks!
I hope the Iowa Northern is getting lots and lots of new freight customers!
Got some pretty good shots and that camera does a good job! Too bad we only had 3 cars after Stoffer.
Great video and catches.
Really cool video!
Great catches and awesome video
Thanks!
Nice video my friend
Thanks!
I wonder if the slugs help with stability with all that rocking back and forth in some parts.
Great video. talk of Rocking.
Waterloo is a great place to catch them in action. I go there often.

@@NYTrainzchaser Thanks! I was also wondering if there are locations that are legal to set up at.
As a local from Cedar Falls, you did well
You we're rail fanning in my neck of the woods
That f40 was dancing lmfao

When do they leave Manly?

@@NYTrainzchaser Thanks!
CN taking over Iowa Northern?
yikes! speed restriction? Can't imagine why MOW crews haven't fixed that stretch of rr..
Low revenue
Why do they use slugs? The only thing I can figure is that they want to increase traction, but the speeds are fairly low.
Extra motive power. They also liked that they’re clean - they have no engine inside them
3000hp on a 4 axle was pushing them on wheel slips. These slugs helped a bit overall on the 3000hp units we run.
@@TheLootownpunx do you work on a railway with slugs?
