Description:  Are we in EMD heaven? No, we are in Iowa. A popular movie about baseball and Iowa said something like this and... if you gather the EMDs, they will come! Nahant Yard is a great place to visit. A lot of friendly people and the railroad also rosters a big assortment of EMD power! The largest Ive seen in one location since the 80s! Not a GE in sight!
