Cars wait at the Amtrak Station in Creston Iowa for the next train to arrive.
This scene was inspired by the many times I rode the Amtrak train from Creston to Chicago.

SD45 on the point of the NH train. All twelve wheels are grinding hard as she pulls
like a stevedore up a 1.5% grade. Black smoke tinges the muddy sky and the
ground shakes from her labor. The exhaust blasts the late Spring air. Flanges shriek
in protest as she wrests around the curved, uphill track.

Interesting equipment you saw in action Jeff. This next photo shows two symbols of NJ Transit equipment at a meet near Lebanon New Jersey.
Of interest is a scene with a stern mother and her disobeying daughter arguing again. The daughter will later travel on the next bus to the Jersey shore to hook up with boring undisciplined youngsters to continue her descent into a miserable lifestyle with little chance for recovery. More's the pity.
