Viewing Album:  Iowa Trip: Train Stations and More
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:6/14/2019 - 6/17/2019
Album Info:Howdy, folks! Went to Iowa this weekend for the Nascar races-truck series and Xfinity Series. The trucks were rained out Saturday night, but it was worth the wait on Sunday, when Johnny Sauter wrecked Austin Hill during caution out of revenge and Ross Chastain smashed a watermelon in victory lane before finding out he didn't actually win...then Christopher Bell won the Xfinity race. While on the way and in Newton, though, I made sure to get some train photos! I found few engines on the trip, but I tracked down a caboose, as well as several cool station buildings from several railroads. Enjoy!
