Very nicely done by someone(s) who actually know what they are doing with video, sound and story.

Good catch, Jeff.

The Iowa Northern was a great host to the C&NW Historical Society when it met in Cedar Falls in 2013.  In addition to a ride from Waterloo to Vinton (where lucky members had cab rides) and complete access to Bryant Yard, Dan Sabin was our speaker at the banquet.
