Rock Island Inver Grove Heights yard  Contributor's Pick!       
This is within 1 or 2 days after the shutdown of the RI system looking north into the yard with RI equipment that will await it fate for 2 or 3 years in this location. Track is beaten to a pulp and CNW has taken over the main line to Des Moines.

Tom Dethmers General This would be north of the RI bridge and parallel to the UP main line probably 1/3 of a mile. UP would be a couple hundred feet to the left of this picture. Look at the other pictures for the power line which still runs through there to get a better focus. 11/1/2020 2:23:45 PM
