The westbound "Southwest Chief" crossing the BNSF Mississippi River Bridge @ Fort Madison, Ia. It had been waiting on the Illinois side, while maintenance crews repaired the bridge, after it wouldn't re-lock following the passage of a barge. The Chief is running on the wrong main and went past the Ft. Madison station to the next crossover then reversed back to the station. (241303)*
