Union Pacific coal train on Squaw Creek bridge, Ames, Iowa

Saturday, December 8, 2012, 11:47 AM. I didn't realize how much they'd cleared the view of the Squaw Creek bridge from Riverside Drive. They're doing some grading below, I assume to reinforce the riverbank, which has been eroded away almost up to the street. This eastbound Union Pacific coal train is led by UP 5736 and UP 7073 and has UP 5663 as its rear DPU.
