Changing of the pole |
| Description: |
Time honored, and admittedly extra work, changing trolley poles to reverse direction. Although you can back-pole, you run the risk of snagging the pole and causing lots of damage. Cheap insurance is to change the pole whenever you reverse, although it leads to lots of pole changes during switch moves. |

Pulling hard to clear the switch going to the UP interchange. AGP (line's biggest shipper) is in the background. Lots of steam today, foggy, 36 degrees, and really damp. |

Taking a hard pull |
| Description: |
The motorman is watching the pole as he starts a hard pull on a long string of cars. 54 was groaning on this one, but she still did it. The best of Baldwin engineering from 1923. How many EMDs will still be working after 92 years? |

IATR 54 |
| Description: |
After departing Boone, we began to make our way north to Mason City, where we would be spending the evening before continuing north once more. Of course, you always have to pay a visit to everyones favorite electric shortline! Sadly, they were not working while I visited, but there were plenty of cars sure to be moved soon! |
