Southbound ICE train through Bellevue, IA 10-18-2009

We happened to catch this ICE train heading through Bellevue, IA. This line isn't that busy, so it was nice to catch something through here. The tracks run down the middle of the street with each direction of traffic running on either side. Recently, they have closed off a bunch of the crossings so track speed could increase from 10mph to 20mph.

If the date that you said you shot this is correct, would have turned 19 that day.

@RailfanTube That's funny because I'm not 100% sure on the date. I believe it's right though. And your bday is only a few days after mine.

Very nice video. Thanks for sticking with this whole train to its end, and not using telephoto. The low sun makes for great lighting.

@rockchickvw Cool! It seems like I'm finding out that a lot of people, even one's I've known for years, have birthdays in October.
