Railfanning Around Iowa: January 2024

Here's video 2 of my Iowa trip that I'm gonna refer to as the "Iowa Bash". This one contains all the trains I saw with friends in and around the Cedar Rapids, Cedar Falls, and Waterloo region. Got to see some unique stuff like the Iowa Northern's F40s, Iowa Interstate, Railserve's Cargill operation, and plenty of railroads I don't see back home in Michigan. While the snow made for some nice shots, it was absolutely freezing! Almost every day was subzero air temperatures, with windchills dropping as far below as -40°F. Definitely the coldest conditions I've railfanned in. At the end of the day, it was still one of the most fun and memorable trips I've been on.
