Quad Cities trip

Thanks to a friend I was given the opportunity to go up to
the Quad Cities to railfan several railroads, towns and a few
towns I've never even been too let alone heard of. Unlike my
previous two trips one with myself and one with a now long
deceased friend I hit the jackpot for the Quad Cities area with
two IAIS trains, A CP local on the Illinois Moline side, two
BNSF locals (Iowa & Illinois) and two CP trains in Davenport.
I also caught my very first aircraft taking off at an airport. I
haven't a clue as to what type it is but that was a first and kind
of cool. The rain could have not happened but it's spring and
the midwest so oh well whatever.

Here are my two IAIS trains one in the morning one a little later.

IAIS CBBI, Moline, Il: (Pics and video)

The later  IAIS BICB caught in Wilton, Iowa. (sorry about rain)

In rural Iowa before the rains seen some weird clouds and at
Wilton, Iowa took a few pictures of the old Wilton RR depot
and an old Rock Island Railroad caboose.

Also seen the train in the yard at Silvis, Illinois earlier:

For the first time and I didnt even know CP crossed the river
at the Quad Cities into Illinois we caught a CP local B73 off
the Nitrin Branch with locomotives CP 2250-4522. This was
very cool.

We also caught two BNSF locals one in Rock Island, Illinois
with three cars and the other with 15 cars in Pleasant Valley,
Iowa:

Also on the Mississippi River seen a riverboat maybe a
Casino. Also a squacky bird haha.

A Herzog train I want to say sitting around a facility around

the line it went further north had been abandoned and turned
into a trail.
