Iowa Interstate (IAIS) 511 - GE ES44AC

WOW! After perching on the Centennial Bridge over the Mississippi River waiting for CPKC freghts (none), there was an eastbound IAIS I saw from afar! Then after walking back to the Airbnb a westbound Iowa Interstate! I was only able to run and catch the rear D.P.U. (Canon T-90 35mm camera, Fuji C200 print film)

Here it is again! From this morning!

It was not moving very fast, as you can tell.

Built for the Iowa Interstate Railroad in 2008, this engine has spent its whole life as 511.

Saw these to my right as I was driving, so drove up to the tracks as soon as I passed them. It would not be the last time I saw them today!

IAIS 511 and trailing unit 718 lead a westbound freight through Davenport, IA on 6-28-2011. The train was stopped at the time but proceeded west just a little after I took this photo.
