As I was resting, major thunderstorms came into the Quad City area. Nathan and I drove down to the grounds for the night photo session but were informed that it had been cancelled and a another major storm cell was heading straight for Rock Island in twenty minutes. We were told we were at our own risk if we wanted to take any pictures. Using the light that was available, I quickly took some.
My first shot was Chicago, Burlington and Quincy E5A 9911A and Chicago and North Western F7A 411.
Next just a general picture of the area.
I adjusted the camera for some different pictures.
Iowa Interstate ES44AC 513.
The Amtrak Heritage Units.
Lehigh Valley Coal 0-6-0T 105.
Viscose 0-4-0T 6.
Central Pacific 4-4-0 63 "Leviathan" and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy SW7 9255.
One more view of the Amtrak Heritage Units. It took me less than ten minutes and I returned to motel to write this day's story before calling it a night.
