Rail King SS4450, Monarch Cement, Des Moines IA
Description:
Railking SS4450, Monarch Cement, Des Moines IA; believe it or not, I've been waiting for this little guy to make an appearance, and I happened to catch him on a perfectly warm and sunny day late in autumn. I believe UP services this plant, but I've never seen an engine, or a little helper such as this Rail King, moving cars. I was beginning to wonder if it was a conspiracy, haha.

MBSE 92492 Caboose, Clive IA
Description:
MBSE 92492 Caboose, unfortunately there is little information on the origins of this unit; the Clive Historical Society states this was purchased from Norfolk Southern at the time of the Depot negotiation (possibly early 1990s) but no dates are give; MBSE is likely the road name for Middleboro-Selkirk, a freight line serviced by Conrail, meaning this could have been part of the Conrail liquidation; however, that would put this into the later 1990s and does not necessarily line up with the disappearance of cabooses through the 1980s; comment if you have more solid stats, otherwise Ill leave this as an open mystery until then; Clive IA

Title:
BSVY Engine 6540, Boone IA
Description:
BSVY Engine 6540, unfortunately I'm not finding any FP9's on the CNW diesel roster, so can't say what the original number was on this engine; CNW 6540 would have been an SD45, which this is definitely not!; currently part of the 'Scenic Line' active passenger service, Boone IA
