Outside the small Electro-Motive shop in Union Pacific's Marshalltown Yard were four of UP's SD70ACe-T4 locomotives: 3030, 3089, 3015 and (coupled behind 3015) 3050. On the other side of this shop are four EMDX SD70ACe-T2 demonstrators: EMDX 7218, 7219, 7222 and 7241. This must be the place to come to see SD70ACe-T2 diesels! (Marshalltown, Iowa – July 22, 2024)
IATR 50 was built by Baldwin-Westinghouse in October 1920 as Washington & Old Dominion 50. In 1948 it became Cedar Rapids & Iowa City (as CRIC 58), and in 1956 was sold to Kansas City’s Kaw Valley & Western (KVW 507). In 1963 it was sold again, this time to Iowa Terminal (ITR 50) and then Iowa Traction 50 in 1987.
