Iowa Interstate 6988: Mitchellville Steam Engine Experience

Recorded on 8/18/18


A-Train4014 Productions makes a special surprise visit to Mitchellville, Iowa
for the running of Iowa Interstate 6988 steam locomotive during the first ever
Mitchellville Steam Engine Experience hosted by the Mitchellville Fire
Department. While we were there, we met up with close colleague,
Elijah Jackson (Baltic 144 Productions) for a little bit. We were mildly
fascinated by the Iowa Interstate 6988 steam locomotive that was built in
China in 1988. Iowa Interstate 6988 is a QJ type steam locomotive used in
China Railways. We also decided to make this visit worth it because there is
a very questionable future for Iowa Interstate 6988 as its due into its FRA
mandated inspection so it is very unlikely that the locomotive will not run for
a while. Overall, we had a fantastic day out trackside getting photos and the
best videos that we can to share on YouTube. Our very own, Andrew Mangalindan
quoted “I can’t wait to share this amazing experience. I promise you will not regret
watching it so I would recommend having a snack with you.” We want to send a
special thank you to the Mitchellville Fire Department for making this event possible.
We also want to send special thanks to the steam crew of Iowa Interstate for
working hard and giving us a memorable experience that we will never forget.
