OK, here's "part 2" of sorts for what I filmed Friday the 16th when I was out there to get the Iowa Interstate units.

In all the times I've been to Mid-America Car, I've never seen the shop switcher in action.  So I was pleasantly surprised when I was there Friday after work to film IAIS units #514 and #515.  M-AC had to clear the Kansas City Southern spur/connecting siding so it could bring the new IAIS out and ready for KCS to pick them up.

So, the little SW1 kept me entertained while waiting by moving four BNSF units and an old SOO "Bandit" MP15AC.  The first unit, a former Santa Fe Dash 9 moved though, looked as though it had a serious engine fire with all the damage.  I assume all but the SOO unit are going to get new coats of BNSF black and orange, while the old switcher should get a new coat of Canadian Pacific red.

If all goes as planned, I will be there once more very soon to film the remaining Iowa Interstate unit #516, which is still in the paint booth getting a very special scheme applied to it.  It will be IAIS' second heritage scheme, the classic Rock Island red and yellow.  

Alright, hope you enjoy this one, and stay tuned for more.  If Mr. Murphy minds his own business, I'll have a club video for Sunday.  Till then, thanks for watching and we'll see you later!
