Cedar rapids is a great place to railfan. Plenty of public places to watch the UP mainlines. Plus the CRANDIC runs a few trains from the Iowa Interstate transfer at iowa city. Waterloo you can catch the UP switcher,the iowa northern? and the CN/IC line. I belive the CN runs about 2 trains a day thru waterloo. Northeast of waterloo is the town of Oelwein, back in the day it was a huge CGW center. Now all there is is a mueseum with a repainted CGW FP7 on display along with other loco's. Also UP has a fleet of ex CNW GP38-2's on the deadline waiting to be sold. <br /> <br />North of waterloo on hwy. 218at Charles City you run into the IMRL main. There should be at least a few freights each way every day on that line. <br /> <br />Sorry if i couldent be of much more help. <br />JC
