Iowa Northern (IANR) |
| Description: |
For years, the IANR got by with these two geeps. Their arrival at the CNW Cedar Rapids yard was a regular occurance. Today, they are parked behind our rail anchor pile (I was on the track crew in this yard at the time). |

| Title: |
IANR 1856 & 1894 |
| Description: |
In the early days, Iowa Northern struggled to stay afloat. For quite a while, they ran these 2 Geeps as main power, after a host of ex Rock Island EMDs failed and were struck on deadlines around the system. When I was a trackman for CNW, the arrival of IANR in the CNW Cedar Rapids yard was an every-other day occurance, always behind these 2 units. IANR chalked in small letters on the hoods was the only indicator of the owner. |
