When the Iron Road Railway (IRR) took over the Iowa Northern in 1994, some of their power also came to the property. These units for sister companies BAR and CDAC were rebuilt at National Railway at Silvis. Then the units were tested to have the bugs worked out on the IANR property before being shipped out east. Here the north crew works north between Clarksville and Packard with couple Canadian American units, along with IANR GP20. In 2002 IRR went bankrupt, and the IANR was bought by the Dan Sabin who worked for the IRR, and this paint scheme became IANR's new look.
