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.

Picking Up The Pieces The 6988 had been plugging along quick, and then a gasket on its water pump failed, bringing the train to a stop. Some half hour and change later, they were starting to roll ahead through the small town of Mineral. Mineral is home to an old wooden elevator, which is where a large number of railfans have congregated. There wasn't any question though, I had to join the crowd as soon as I saw the elevator. I'm still not quite over the loss of the elevator at Lodge, so I'm really grasping for anything to make up for it. The Mineral grain elevator will have to do here. It's a nice elevator. A fun fact, this is the one and only time I've taken a vertical photo and not completely hated it. Truly, a first time for everything.
The Calling Often times when chasing, picking a spot to stop and shoot is hard to do - it’s easy to screw up and pick a bad spot, or arrive there without enough time, or whiff the shot itself. Sometimes, though, a location presents itself and you just know it’s the spot to be. On the eastern side of Atkinson, such a place presented itself - a perfect opening in a field to capture nearly all of the train pulled by IAIS 6988 and without obstructions. It’s nice when things work out that way.
