Alot of the UP SD70's are being put into storage with the down turn in business in 2016. Few can still be found on drag freights and locals. Here the Clinton to Boone junk/local freight hammers thru the small town of Watkins about 15 miles west of Cedar Rapids.
Coal and steel don't go bad. This album features long, slow, heavy freight trains; drag freights, slop freights, dead freights, etc. Trains with lots of power, and lots of different cargo slogging along behind.
