The quality of this isn't great, as it was shot from my cell-phone, and there's a lot of traffic noise in the background, but it was pretty neat to see, so I wanted to share it. Wife and I were walking across the 3rd Street bridge in Dubuque when I spotted a pair of CN locomotives headed our way in the yard below. They stopped directly below us before reversing away. I couldn't have staged something this good if I'd tried.

Ahhhh memories! The track to the right as your looking down is the IC&E former Milwaukee line to Marquete Iowa. The Yard is about 8 blocks up from there.I miss Dubuque and a cetain person there..... oh well cest la vie.
