A severe thunderstorm blew south through eastern Iowa on the night of July 20th, forcing me to take shelter in a boxcar with an open plug door. I didn't sleep that night, or at least not for very long. The fear of waking up to the sound of someone locking the door was enough to keep me awake. The southbound Canadian Pacific 474 was built on the track next to me and departed at about 2:00 AM. The following morning I heard the dispatcher addressing the 475 and instructing them to pull the train up on the north main and cut it forward of GATX 30847. When the train stopped the only task at hand was to find a ride behind the aforementioned car. The first rideable car I found was a white, Canada style grainer. I quickly mounted it hid inside just as the train was being pulled forward to make the cut. This is just one more example of why it's so important to use a scanner.
