Three diesel locomotives lead a freight train through rural Iowa

The quiet of rural Iowa is temporarily interrupted by the roar of a passing train. Here, a Chicago & North Western GP50 and two St. Louis Southwestern SD45s hustle a unit grain train across an HO scale module constructed by Bill Larsen for the Midwest Mod-U-Trak Club. Matt  Kosic of Orland Park, Ill., took the photo.
