CNW SD50 7024 pilots an ATSF flood detour autorack train through Glidden, IA in July1993. The CNW main line in Iowa had just been reopened prior to Santa Fe's transcon flooding and the additional ATSF trains on the Overland route taxed its capacity especially with rested crews. Union Pacific sent crews to help CNW out with the run through trains to try and keep traffic moving.
