Lionel trains at Trainland USA in Colfax Iowa
This is Trainland USA located in Colfax Iowa. It is located in the basement of the home of Red Atwood who built the layouts as a display for the public. There are three layouts one running around the wall of the basement, another around the inside, and a western themed layout. As you walk around you can find many different animated accessories and a ton of detail all around. If you are in the area it is definitely a sweet place to visit. There is also a train store in an ex-RI passenger on the outside. Enjoy!

Target Practice at the Colfax Gun Club - Colfax, Iowa
Target practice using my Beretta Nano 9mm at the Colfax Gun Club. Gun ownership should be taken very seriously and you should fully understand how to operate and respect a firearm before owning one. Part of that ownership responsibility is practicing with a professional who can show you how operate it properly!
I purchased my guns from A1 Firearms in Brentwood, Md. Visit them online at A1uniforms.com and tell them I sent you!

Canadian National unit on UP freight on Spine Line link, Nevada, Iowa
Tuesday, December 19, 2017, AM. Early in the morning of the day I caught the train with the Canadian Pacific and Norfolk Southern units in Ames, Rick caught this train with a Canadian National unit on the track between the two triangles that all form the junction between Union Pacific's Spine Line and their Main Line on the west side of Nevada, Iowa.
Union Pacific mixed freight crosses S-27 east of Nevada, Iowa
Friday, July 21, 2017, 11:29 AM. I went east of Nevada, Iowa to check out a train that was stopped and blocking Story County S-27 where the Spine Line crosses it, which is only about a half-mile south of where the Main Line also crosses S-27. So when a couple trains went by on the Main Line, I filmed them from where I was. At the end of this video, I turn around and show part of the train blocking the Spine Line so you can see how close these two crossings really are. And less than a mile east of here, the Spine Line passes under the Main Line at Devil's Hollow.
