by the dog park. What kind of locomotives are those and how fast was that train going? Gustav was whelped in Kentucky on April 10, 2025. He is a purebred German Shepherd. He was a bit freaked out by that Iowa Interstate RR train (lead engine number 514) so close. I have the camera in one hand and his leash in the other. This is the first train he's ever seen. We also have Union Pacific in Des Moines, Iowa. I thought the train was a UP at first because the approaching nose was yellow. The train was heading northeast and coming from the Des Moines yard where UP trains also congregate.
This following video is my own catch:

Here is a still of the Iowa Interstate locomotive with livery (Do you like this livery style?):
Here is a scale model of IIRR engine # 514:
Here is somebody else's catch of the same engine:
