First up, red SOO and CP engines waiting between Mason City and Clear Lake. Next, Iowa Traction number 50 is coupled to three ballast hoppers. A pair of CNW GP38-2's in fresh Operation Lifesaver paint jobs are seen on the south side Mason City. A high nose GP9 is at the SOO line yard. Near Alden IA we see an eastbound Chicago Central train with a pair of orange and white GP10's, 17 cars and an orange caboose.
