Roger Kujawa posted eight photos with the comment: "Grinnell, Iowa was a crossing of the MSTL and the Rock Island. The Iowa interstate and Union Pacific now cross here. Unfortunately the restaurant closed. We were looking forward to dining here."

| Mtnclimberjoe Rail Photography posted With a GEVO and two GP's on the head end and another GEVO bringing up the rear, the Iowa Interstate's CBBI makes its way east over the Newton Subdivision and is about to pound the diamond with the Union Pacific Oskaloosa Subdivision. The train is passing by the 1863 built Union Depot in Grinnell, Iowa that once served this junction of the Rock Island and the Central Railroad of Iowa. ====Info==== 11/13/2021 IAIS Newton Subdivision Grinnell, IA IAIS CBBI (Manifest; Council Bluffs, IA to Blue Island, IL) IAIS 515 ES44AC Blt. 2014 IAIS 712 GP38-2 Ex.
