<p>A year or so after I moved to Cedar Rapids (~1994) it was suggested to me that I go up to Oelwein.  I did, and even though it was all CNW stuff, I thought I died and went to locomotive heaven!  The CNW was using Oelwein for storage and there were dozens of diesels and long strings of bay window cabooses available for photography.  I couldn't find any RR personnel to ask for permission to enter the yard, so I stopped-into the PD right there by the old yard tower and checked with them.  The police chief said as long as I was just taking photos, he didn't have a problem with my being there.  The CNW executive F's were there, with the windows all boarded-up.  Lots of high-nose GPs and SDs of many varieties including an SD24 I believe (I'd have to look at the photos in my album), I saw that old M&StL flat-car on a siding in the weeds, an old Russell plow.  I must've walked up & down the rows all afternoon until I expended 2 rolls of film.</p>
