Morning MADNESS on BNSF's Southern Transcon in Fort Madison, Iowa (Part 3)

This is the 3rd of 3 days I spent in Fort Madison, Iowa this past July. This was my second trip along the BNSF Southern Transcon (Last year in La Plata) and I wasn't disappointed! This was no doubt the most exciting and action-packed morning of railfanning yet! Fort Madison sees 50-70 daily average freight trains plus 2 Amtrak (one in each direction) daily. I saw countless meets, horn shows, foreign, power, and more!! So make sure you stay tuned for part 3 of this amazing trip!!
