NRHS Iowa Northern Railway Cedar Rapids to Waterloo Part 3 6/23/2012



by Chris Guenzler

We were still on our way to MP 133 as we approached Vinton.





This looked as though it was a railroad bridge over Wolf Creek but is really a road bridge. We ran through La Porte City and stopped at a grade crossing just south of MP 133 for a photo runby and lined up along the dirt road here, making a prefect photo line.





Llamas were in a field behind a fence.











Reverse move 1 at MP 133.













Photo Runby 1, after which I moved to another photo location.





People relocated themselves for the next photo runby.













Photo runby 2.











Photo runby 3.









Photo runby 4.









Photo runby 5.





We then made our way back to Cedar Rapids. A special thank you to the entire NRHS convention staff for yet another excellent trip. I was driven back back to the Motel 6 by Don and Debbie Crimmin while Nathan took the bus back. I uploaded the stories and called Winston to proof them while I would be busy tonight.

That is what happened at the 2012 NRHS Cedar Rapids convention on this date.

The Beloit Snappers vs. the Cedar Rapids Kernels 6/23/2012

Nathan and I drove over to the Veterans Memorial Stadium for this evening's minor league baseball game between the Beloit Snappers (a Minor League Baseball team of the Midwest League and the High-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins) and the Cedar Rapids Kernels (another team in the Midwest League and the High-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins). The Snappers won 1-0 and after the game, we enjoyed a fantastic and best fireworks show I have ever seen, then returned to the Motel 6 where I put the corrections in my story then called it a night.
