That was truly an amazing video. When I watched the initial part of the video, I thought "I must have misunderstood; thought this was a model railroad, not a real old view of the C&NW in Marshalltown." I will never reach that level of sophistication with my Rock Island layout. Great work!
I'm guessing you've never been to the real Marshalltown. There isn't an ADM plant there for one thing. The diesel shop is located closer to the west end of the yard. Switching was mainly for trains going down the Oskie Sub, Eldora Sub, and if early enough the Oelwein Sub. There's a scrap metal company, Gervich & Son, on the north side of the yard on the east end.
You don't have to guess anymore. I know all those things you mentioned. All my towns are in name only. It's why it's free lanced layout. I built the layout the way I wanted.
Great video! I especially like the end where the train rolls by in the background while the switching takes place. Very realistic. Is that real sound recorded or decoders?
I like your choice of music, well done! You and your group have a great talent here! Spectacular layout!
Love the Collective Soul in the background! Rock and Rails, don't get no better than that!
LOL, you got that right, rock on...

Much as I like your video, the background music is a distraction.
