IAIS 6988
Title:  IAIS 6988
Description:  Train Festival 2011! The excursion from Rock Island, IL to Walcott, IA is only a few miles from the end of its journey. It's being pulled by one of the Chinese-built QJ 2-10-2's Iowa Interstate Railroad owns. The train will then be pulled back to Rock Island by an IAIS GP-38. My wife and I rode this same excursion train the very next day.

IAIS 701
Title:  IAIS 701
Description:  This Iowa Interstate GP38-2 brings up the rear of an excursion to Walcott, IA lead by one of the Chinese QJ 2-10-2 steam locomotives. Apparently the riders on the viewing platform on the last car are way more interested in the steam engine pulling the train compared to the boring old standard power bringing up the rear.
