this little shortline appears to be as diverse in the types of power as the Minnisota Comercial in Minneapolis/St Paul is I must find this shortline and do some railfnning sometime when I am up that way on pickups

As I've pointed out on another post, these tracks used to be the end of the Rock Island's tracks from North Central Iowa to Burlington. The tracks north of Burlington were washed out by a flood in the late 70s when the Rock was already on life support so the tracks weren't repaired and eventually the line was abandoned.

Nice to see the EX CLC #701 still in service. I was only 3 when her and the 702 left the CLC.

Wasn't this one of the locos used on the Spirit of Oregon dinner train? I reconize the paint scheme.

Yes. The operating one with the Hi-Ad trucks was originally built for Columbia & Cowlitz and worked at Longview, Wash. The other unit with the same paint with the standard trucks was originally SP and later sold to C&C. Both units ran on the Port of Tillamook Bay RR in dinner/excursion service until that operation moved to the Mt. Hood RR. Burlington Jct. purchased the units from there.

Weren't those engines on the Mt. Hood Railroad years ago?

Yes, and before that Columbia & Cowlitz. The one with conventional trucks is ex-SP while the one with Hi-Ads was built for the C&C.
