IAIS steam on the move!

[orsonroy]

Just a heads-up th everyone that the IAIS' QJ's have both been fired up and have made at least one test run yesterday. Nobody's quite sure what they're up to yet, but it's likely that they'll be staying in Iowa, possibly to meet up with 844 that's in the same general area.
