KCS 4618
Title:  KCS 4618
Description:  CP K38 met CP 541 in the siding north of Dubuque. They had some work to do in the yard on the north side of town, which gave me ample time to get back across the river and grab some pictures of the train making a few moves. Another KCS leader, this time an AC4400CW. Two KCS leaders!

GTW 5854
Title:  GTW 5854
Description:  With CP occupied by K38 and nothing but the local nearby on CN, I decided to head back across the river to wait on some BNSF traffic. CN L586 made quick work today, as they were already ready to head back across the river to the Iowa side when I got back.

KCS 5018
Title:  KCS 5018
Description:  Back on the other side of the river, after K38 cleared up their warrant north of town, CP 374 recieved a warrant into town and I grabbed it ducking underneath the Fengler Road overpass with yet another KCS leader. Doing well in the KCS department today!

BNSF 7862
Title:  BNSF 7862
Description:  Almost right at the same time I had a pair of BNSF trains meeting on the other side of the river. However, something on US 20 east was causing a major slowdown and traffic was at a hault on the bridge. I had already committed so I had no way to turn around. Thankfully, I was able to find a small gap and get turned around before making a complete turn onto the bridge. But, that wasnt good enough, as my stack train had already passed southbound, and the northbound sand train, U-EOSEFC0-07 was approaching fast northbound. I made a dash on US 61 north into Wisconsin, and only made it in time for the DPU at the Eagle Lane Road overpass south of Rutledge. Oh well. Cant win them all.

BNSF 5898
Title:  BNSF 5898
Description:  By the time I was coming back from Wisconsin, I got a call from Dad saying he was on his way back. When he made it back to the hotel we dropped off the rental car. I had eaten lunch at Arbys already, but he had not eaten at all so we went down to Culvers to get him some lunch. We went back to the room to eat, and finally while eating the rain began to slow down. After he was done since the rain wasnt pouring anymore, we decided to head back out. BNSF had a few trains to send through East Dubuque so thats where we went first. A few large puddles had formed beside the tracks which provided for some cool new angles. Not much waiting went by before Z-SSECHC8-30 rolled by our cameras.

CN 8880
Title:  CN 8880
Description:  While we were back in the room, CN M338 came into town and began doing their work. They were beginning to finish up when we were on the other side of the river, and with BNSF not having anything else nearby, we went back across the river. M338 was recrewed and keyed up the bridge tender to come across. A nice all EMD lashup on M338, including 2 SD70M-2s, a SD75I, and the GTW GP38-2 that was on the local this morning. The train slowly creeps by the former IC depot in town as it makes its way toward Chicago.

KCS 3903
Title:  KCS 3903
Description:  Once CN was completely clear of Dubuque, CP lined a northbound through town. This trip definitely has not disappointed when its come to great catches. A ballast train extra rolls north through town with a solo KCS SD70MAC on the front. Never heard the symbol for this one, but my guess is it was a BAL symbol of some sort. The Hotel Julien sits to the right of the train and made for a good object to frame the unique train with. I shot a ballast train similar to this one on my second visit here with my dad a few years back with a SD60 leading. A majority of the SD70MACs have been relegated to MOW or local service. Definitely a far cry from the trains they were designed to handle, but at least theyre still out running and not shards of metal.

BNSF 5534
Title:  BNSF 5534
Description:  BNSF began sending more trains so it was back to the other side of the river. Unfortunately, as the CP ballast train was running through, the H1 Dash 9 that was leading the tied down grain train left. It was really unfortunate we couldnt see both of them. But, the KCS SD70MACs are probably in more danger, so it was the right choice to shoot it over the grain train. The next train on BNSF, despite it just having a GEVO leader, was pretty unique too; an empty windmill blade train symboled U-NOYBTX1-30. Definitely would have been cool to see it loaded, but still a pretty neat train regardless.

BNSF 8283
Title:  BNSF 8283
Description:  At the same time, BNSF X-CSXHBN9-01 came north with a trio of BNSF motors, all in different paint schemes. Unfortunately, the H1 was in trail on this grain train unlike the other one.

BNSF 1055
Title:  BNSF 1055
Description:  Leading or not, it was still worth grabbing a roster shot of the H1 unit. The grain train ended up blocking out the DPU on the empty blade train.

KCS 4850
Title:  KCS 4850
Description:  Yet another CP northbound was lined so it was back to the other side of the river. And yet again it had another KCS leader! Five total so far! CP 261 slowly winds through town as they prepare to work the yard on the north side passing a neat old red truck.

BNSF 4297
Title:  BNSF 4297
Description:  After the CP train, things shut down on all three railroads which allowed us to get some supper at A&W in downtown Dubuque. And, on top of that, the sun began to peak out behind the clouds! Just in time for the big rush of BNSF trains. Unfortunately, it went right back under the clouds once the trains began to show, but at least we had blue sky! BNSF Z-CHCSSE6-01 leads the charge of northbound trains with a trio of GE motors up front.

BNSF 3270
Title:  BNSF 3270
Description:  We decided to move south by the East Dubuque water tower to catch our next northbound. Which, once again, was something we did not expect to see on this trip. A very clean BNSF 3270 leads BNSF O-TOPHVR8-31, an OCS move! Even the sun popped out a little bit for this one! This trip has been full of so many neat surprises!

BNSF OCS
Title:  BNSF OCS
Description:  The BNSF OCS heads north into East Dubuque. Our guess is since the whole consist is in reverse, that this was a deadhead move back to the Twin Cities, but we arent totally sure.

Title:  NS 1206
Description:  There was a KCS GE facing out on the rear of CP 260, but as it was crawling through town, CN U705 was crossing the Mississippi River, so we opted to shoot it coming over the bridge over CP 260s DPU. A NS SD70ACe leads the ethanol train with a ACC trailing and a CN GEVO 3rd.

CN 8929
Title:  CN 8929
Description:  CN M337 was following right behind CN U705 all the way from Chicago, but since U705 would be getting a new crew in Dubuque, M337 had to hold back on the Illinois Side. The light was quickly disappearing so we moved back to the water tower where we managed to get an okay shot of the train creeping up to CP Bishop. This would be the final train of the day. Another fantastic day of trains! However, the trip to Iowa now becomes the trip home from Iowa as tomorrow will be the final day. Its been a blast. One more day!

BNSF 5944
Title:  BNSF 5944
Description:  Just as quickly as the trip came, it went, and we were on our final day. We had to make the long drive from Iowa all the way home today. So, instead of following CP to Clinton like we did in November when we had less daylight to work with, we decided to follow BNSF back instead. We grabbed some breakfast and checked out of the hotel. Almost immediately upon crossing the river, BNSF was sending southbound Q-PTLCHC6-29 through. We got down to the crossing in East Dubuque just in time.

IC 3101
Title:  IC 3101
Description:  After the Z train, the bridge tender and BNSF La Crosse gave permission to CN L586 to come across the river and do their work at Bishop. Even though I had shot the IC 3101 coming through the tunnel yesterday, Dad had not, so thats where we shot the local. I went with something a little different though, grabbing a wider angle shot of the train already out of the tunnel.

IC 9622
Title:  IC 9622
Description:  We decided to move south to the water tower crossing. CN once again made pretty quick work down by Bishop and were ready to head back north. IC 9622 was dropped off by M338 yesterday so it was nice to get a different unit up front on the local. Especially one that was short hood forward.
