Corn Country IIby ~classictrains

DescriptionDetailsShare
Download JPG 2104 × 1642
Iowa is littered with grain elevators. As an outcome of deregulation and railway consolidation many elevators found it best to have their own equipment to position hoppers for loading.

The tags under the window indicate ownership is Countrywide Grain Terminal. They own the elevator this is parked next to.

Research by Robert :iconhunter1828: suggests this might be ex-C&NW 4144.

EMD GP7's and GP9's were constructed with high short hoods but many received after-market chops that look like this.

I've seen photos where the Milwaukee Road used to leave the number boards in there original location after chopping a high short hood, also.

I also like the AC job, too, if it works, more power to'em!

certainly customized to suit the local need... and not FRA approved either.
