Classic Iowa Northern by Don Kalkman Via Flickr: Iowa Northern CF7 2493 was sitting in Union Pacific's Beverly yard in Cedar Rapids awaiting shipment to a warmer climate back in 1995.
Built in 1949 as Santa Fe F7 300L, the rebuild was heading to the Florida Central and is now enjoying a warm working vacation in god's waiting room.
In late 2023 it was announced that Canadian National was taking over the Iowa Northern.
