Railfanning the Fort Madison Area - 23 and 24 APR 2022

Saturday, 23 April was the NRHS Iowa Chapter's spring meeting, held this year at the Keokuk Union Depot. After the meeting and tour of the restored depot, several of us headed to the Fort Madison area to railfan.

These are some of my catches from the weekend. There was a WB at Argyle I missed because I couldn't hear it coming until it was too late to get the camera set up. On Sunday, there were several trains that went by while I was touring the museums in the old SF freight house and CB&Q depot. When I went to 35th St in the afternoon, my mic cable got loose, and I didn't notice until several trains had passed, so that footage was unusable (no sound).
