Out in the cold



Iowa Northern Railway 678 spent many years hauling passengers for Amtrak when it was numbered 241. Today it still hauls passengers as it pulls the Hawkeye Express train to University of Iowa home football games and in December for the Snowflake Express. Most of the year the locomotive and its passenger cars can be seen sitting at Bryant Yard in Waterloo, Iowa as it is this particular day in a snow storm.
