Title: Hawkeye Express
Post by: nscnotp1 on July 21, 2007, 10:29:34 AM
While looking at the Iowa Northern website: http://www.iowanorthern.com (http://www.iowanorthern.com)  I ran across this:

Now how about maybe the Wildcats or the Cardinals doing something like this.

It would certainly be easier for Louisville to do it, but do you really think CSX would let them run a train?  ;)

That is a good point Caleb.

Maybe a Kentucky/Cincinnati football game with NS pulling the passenger cars to Cincinnati or vise versa. Now that would be an ideal passenger service; with the 4270 and 4271 leading the train.  :)

Dont let any steelers fans see that. they would want to turn it into the tailgate train. lol. can u imagine a whole trainload of fat, wasted, steelers fans chanting "here we go steelers, here we go" as they rolled down the tracks towards the city,  peeing out the doors at the ends of the cars, and cooking whatever meats they brought with them on their grills? Im a steeler fan, and i could see that being a very real scenario. lol.
