At an undocumented location in the Marshalltown area, F7A 210 leads while splitting what reminds me of Rock Island signals.

Part II from the October 3rd post of number 16.

An unknown photographer captured The Milwaukee Road's eastbound Olympian Hiawatha rolling through Lake Country in Southeast Wisconsin just east of Nashotah.

Many thanks to Tony Stelter ( milw157 on Flickr) for nailing down the location of this grade crossing that has been removed for many decades.

Flex-time FTW. I worked an hour late yesterday so that I could come in an hour late this morning enabling a departure shot of the Boone-bound Big Boy. I probably could have gotten away with chasing it a little further this morning, but there's nothing too exciting until you get up past Woodbine and I've got too much work to do to chase it all the way to Boone today.
