Looking For Pictures/Video
Posted by LaurenFan on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 3:59 AM

I wonder if anyone has any pictures or videos of the QJ Steam locomotives which are owned by Iowa Interstate that show them without smoke deflectors. I have seen them running without deflectors with the RJ Corman paint scheme. But, I want to see them with the Iowa Interstate paint scheme and without smoke deflectors.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

How about lots of pictures on all kinds of diesel locomotive which is used in the United States? I am looking for pictures of diesel locomotives that I can freely put on a website. I am making a website which is meant to be an informational site all about North American diesel locomotives.

Yes I'd give credit to the photographers!

Those are the RJ Corman engine. He wants to see pics of the Iowa Interstate engines without smoke deflectors. There are 3 of those engines running here. 2 on the Iowa Interstate and 1 on the RJ Corman.

I'm on the Iowa Interstate Yahoo group and I've never seen a picture of them without the deflectors. One of the engines is "Americanized" though which looks pretty neat.

It definately looks a lot better without the smoke deflectors.  It'd probably look better still without the skyline casing.
