This Memorial Day weekend i will be out in Galena, IL and plan on taking a trip out to Mason City, IA on that Saturday. Does IATR operate on Saturdays? What are the frequencies? Need some info, never been there before. Thanks.

Mason City?
Isnt that where some of the last surviving Over head wire service runs? They are the ones with the orange equiptment that serves several small industries in the area?

Don't count on anything running on a weekend, how ever the equipment is left out at different locations easily accessable for photo's. Some where you may find a North shore line 1926 coach # 727. Last time I was out there I didn't spot it.
