My last ICE detour shot of the summer bends the corner north of Rondout. It was nice while it lasted... |

Rondout has seen many detours this summer, with CP trains earlier coming off the WSOR and the Fox Lake sub at left, and this ICE Kansas City detour train, taking the long way home via the CP. |

Detour train MKCSP-28 heads west past the Power Plant with a suprise guest, the StL&H 5615, on lease to DME. They are running 2 main to allow Amtrak 337 to pass, but will cross over to 1 main at Sturtevant in front of another ICE detour train headed East. |

Kansas City train MSPKC is taking the long way to KC, via an easterly loop through Wisconsin, down to Chicago and back West due to a derailment in Iowa that ripped up their own trackage along the Mississippi River. |

Two short timers show up at the diamond this morning. ICE is in the process of being purchased by the Canadian Pacific while EJ&E is on its way to becoming a Canadian National property. |

ICE at dawn. The first detour train of the day heads west out of Rondout. ICE is running detours again due to a derailment in Guttenberg, Iowa that put four locomotives in the Mississippi river. |

A unit Ethanol train detours Westbound on the Canadian Pacific. A single SD40-2 powers this 90 car train, not unlike some of new parent Canadian Pacifics trains through this area. |

After waiting for things to clear up on the BRC, the detour train gets the signal at Wadsworth. 12000hp of EMD muscle strains to get this long Eastbound train moving again. |

The ICE MHUCC detour train runs "plan B", pulling down to Wadsworth on Main 2 where they will hold the main for an hour waiting for BRC to clear up. |
