Under Detection I never did finish going through photos of the QJ from earlier this year, funnily enough. As we count down days towards UPs equipment move from Cheyenne to Silvis, it seems inevitable that parts of the Iowa Interstate are going to become rather horribly clustered by the usual suspects. That'll be a fun one. For those of us who were willing to do a little stumbling through the bushes, it became possible to shoot straight down the barrel by one of the IAIS defect detectors. It was something I'd spotted on the chase east, and initially I thought it was a disused signal bridge, but on the westbound run back towards Silvis, I had the chance to nail it right underneath the thing. Worked out nicely, I think.
