BIG POWER ON THE CANADIAN NATIONAL WITH SCENIC DRONE CHASE! IOWA NORTHERN AND CN L571.

09/11/2024 Waterloo, IA. Here the Iowa Northern is seen working as they diverge off the CN line and towards their home rails. 09/12/2024 Cedar Falls, IA. A good sized L571 makes it's way along the Cedar river with plenty of power. 09/13/2024 Cedar Falls, IA. More CN L571 action along the Cedar river with the drone in chase!

I love the way the IN locomotive sounds as it winds up to move, Red. That's so cool! ❤️❤️😎😎

Another great video Red, and as always you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one

Thank you for the fabulous video, Red! Excellent trains and spectacular scenery! How could it get any better than this? I for one hate to see the Iowa Northern go away. Not only do they have a gorgeous paint scheme, but I always root for the little guys. The underdogs, if you will. I really appreciate all of your work, Red, and I find it very entertaining! I hope you have a fantastic week, and please tell Walter and Roger I said hi. Be careful out there, and we'll chat again soon. 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤

Maybe they make cotton candy flavored ice cream in La Mars.

Those IANR units are the "new" PTC equipped GP40's that have been hanging out behind the Waterloo shops for a long time.

Very nice,I really enjoy the drone video,you do an excellent job piloting it. Very steady flight with great zoom transitions.. The view of the six locomotives from the air was awesome. Thanks for another enjoyable video.

[@redsiowatrainvideos6645]

@jamesbuttleman3130 You're welcome James! Always nice to fly above the action👍

[@nancyhodges444]

Cool action from the Iowa Northern and CN!👍🏼

[@fallingup90]

Really like that 4th unit on the first 571. Fresh rebuild on NS! That second 571 is great too. Get all those dash 9s and SD75Is while you can

[@redsiowatrainvideos6645]

@fallingup90 I noticed the fresh NS paint. Yes the dash 9s are probably close to term.

I see Iowa Interstate in the Peoria, IL area frequently. All the local railroad's motors are old EMDs.

I watch these guys as much as I can, I love the old power . Will be into see what happens to this old stuff I wonder if they will continue to use it on their current trackage. Good videos. Thanks

@hongs8867 You're welcome Hongs88!

[@redsiowatrainvideos6645]

@hongs8867 I'd like to think they will keep that equipment for awhile.

[@tractorguy100]

The car with the cottonseed going to Lamars,Iowa, is probably going to one of the big dairies there. They use cottonseed in the feed ration for dairy cows. Which produce milk and ice cream. They say the cottonseed gives the cows fiber and protein.

[@corduerorose9747]

Good videos Red but the question I wondering is why they always have 2 hoppers at the beginning and the end of an ethanol train?🤔

[@redsiowatrainvideos6645]

@corduerorose9747 Thanks Corduero! The hoppers are called buffer cars and are for protection on both ends👍

[@davidschick6951]

I'd never seen 4100-series on IANR before. Hopefully means the sale fell through.

Replacing the Number Boards on Various Units because they’re also Installing LED Bulbs behind them and the Old Number Boards don’t give the proper Illumination.
