Amazing stuff. Keep it coming.

I'm happy to admit I was never a great fan of US locos but they've certainly grown on me in recent years, although I haven't the faintest idea what most of them are!

What is a B&O engine doing in Iowa? Is it leased power? I don't think it would be pooled since it is a yard engine.

What where those "Auto Train" loco's used for? My best guess would be a special train of autoracks, but I get the feeling CNW wouldn't be giving loco's specialty paint jobs at this point in its history.
