Here's some video I shot of Iowa Interstate's QJ 2-10-2 steam locomotives passing through West Liberty, Iowa on October 18th, 2008, at around 8:15 in the morning. The two locomotives were double-heading a revenue freight train, setting a new world record for the most tonnage hauled by steam in the 21st century. This was CERTIANLY worth seeing!
