Waves of Mutilation It's been a few days and my fingers still haven't fully recovered... When I embarked on this little day trip, I knew I wanted three shots: 1) decent wedge of the leading three locomotives, 2) Iowa City bridge, and 3) Moscow / Cedar River bridge.

So I went to Moscow, but I think I might have made like the Russian army and taken a wrong turn. It was sunny and clear an hour prior, and I arrived at the riverfront to find snow billowing around the small crowd amassing there and relentless waves of frigid wind cutting through all those layers of clothes. I'm not sure what happened, but a year or two ago I just lost all my cold resistance entirely. I just cannot handle it anymore. So, the 20-odd degree weather paired with wave after wave of piercing wind, and sudden snow - plus a half frozen river for good measure - really didn't quite feel too nice!

If nothing else, we all bonded over the shared cold. We were also all waiting there much longer than expected - I thought maybe five or ten minutes, as I wasn't all that far ahead, but it wound up being well over a half hour, maybe closer to 45 minutes. Turns out, the donation train had stopped back in Atalissa - a town I'd very nearly stopped at myself for a shot at the elevator there! But I skipped it as I didn't want to risk getting stuck behind chasers and missing the bridge.

We did not learn of the stop until most of that half hour had passed. At the same time, the snow and wind picked up, and nearly gave us full blizzard and white out conditions. You couldn't see past the third bridge span, and anything closer was plenty hard to see too! Just barely two minutes before UP5716 broke through the sticks. Too bad the wave of relief wasn't warm! I crouched down near the firepit and nearly froze my leg to the ground, hah!

Cranking the heat in the car never felt so good after this...
