| Remarks & Notes |
| When this line was built between Monona and Calmar, the railroad did a great job of running ridges to maintain less grades. That meant the railroad was built all over hell with a ton of curves. I can remember in those 28 miles (man it's been 14 years now since I quit!!!!) there was many times as an engineer you could see your rear car and have 2-4 curves between you and the marker. Here B38 twist downgrade into Luana before the 4 mile hike upgrade into Monona. Heavy dynamics howl as they engineer works on keeping this Mason City freight back at speed. |
