The little known train-hunting ground of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. When I was <br />living there until '99 I saw the following from the MCI building downtown: <br /> <br />1.) Chicago & Northwestern <br />2.) Union Pacific <br />3.) Illinois Central <br />4.) Chicago Central & Pacific (several variations of their red & white <br />scheme and then their black & white IC subsidiary scheme) <br />5.) Iowa Northern (their original maize, teal & white livery, then their <br />new ownership maroon, grey & yellow scheme plus Bangor & <br />Aroostook units that were owned by the same company as the <br />IANR!) <br />6.) Cedar Rapids & Iowa City (CRANDIC) in their beautiful yellow, <br />red & grey scheme (similar to UP but looked much better). <br />7.) Rusty and worn ex-MILW GP10s in CC&P service but several <br />still wearing their old orange & black paint. <br />8.) Drive 30 min. to Iowa City and see the Iowa Interstate.
