A quiet Burlington Northern yard at Ottumwa, Iowa. |
| Description: |
Once a very busy local yard, Ottumwa (by the 1980s) had become less and less busy. A couple of BN switchers sit and wait for the next crew call. Today, the yard is home to the Ottumwa Connecting Railroad. |

Old wooden boxcar at Ottumwa, Iowa in 1982. |
| Description: |
This old wooden box car sat in Ottumwa Park for years until it fell to an arsonists torch job. Not sure what railroad it came from, as many roads once served Ottumwa: CB&Q, Rock Island, Wabash, Milwaukee Road. |

| Description: |
Not uncommon at all for old boxcars to get a second life as storage. Glad I got these shots before an arsonist got to it. |

Using an ex-BN NW-2, this 1982 photo was taken near the Ottumwa Depot, where the OCR would pass to transfer cars between the BN and (then) Milwaukee Road/Soo Line yards. |
