IANR North Local, Manly, Iowa Iowa Northern's north local gets underway at Manly on a cold January afternoon.

Rock Island 652 and 630, Manly, Iowa Iowa Northern’s two former Rock Island E units, E6A No. 630 and E8A No. 652 appeared for a night shoot ahead of Union Depot Train Days last weekend. Both units have been repainted in the Rock Island’s simplified 1960s-era red and silver paint scheme. Iowa Northern President Dan Sabin, who once worked for the Rock Island, made the units available for the event.

Both locomotives once pulled Rock Island's famed Rocket streamliners, and are the last remaining Rock Island E units. EMD built No. 630 in 1941, one of five E6As the railroad purchased. Today it’s one of only a few remaining slant-nosed E units. It pulled long-distance passenger trains for decades before ending its Rock Island career on Chicago commuter trains.

No. 652 was one of 13 E8As purchased by the Rock Island in 1951. In 1976, it received a red, white, and blue paint scheme by Chicago’s 20th Century Railroad Club for the United States' bicentennial. In that scheme, it led Peoria and Quad Cities Rockets until the end of Rock Island passenger service in 1978. Nos. 630 and 652 returned to passenger service for about a decade on the 20-mile Midland Railway at Baldwin City, Kan. They were sold to the Manly Junction Museum in 2009.
