With word from Ilinirail that IAIS 157 was leading a Gevo, I had to go out for it. It sure was nice to hear an RS3K. I was origionally going to go to Bensenville for CP 291 which had a CITX (ex. FURX) SD40-2 on the point.
Scene 1:
About 5 minutes after we got to Rockdale the Iowa crew was given the ok to proceed to McDonough Street.

Scene 2:
After getting the bridge down and the ok from the dispatcher, the Iowa slowly slowly moves across the diamonds.

Scene 3:
Thanks to Nick for the directions, we chased it to the Route 30 scene. If you haven't gotten a shot of the IAIS from this road, then you're either the only one or in a handful of people who haven't.
