IATR heads to Clear Lake
Title:  IATR heads to Clear Lake
Description:  This was shot shortly after the IATR returned the Clear Lake line to service. For years, nothing had run due to washouts and track conditions. They are hauling in ethanol to the Williams facility in Clear Lake, having finished trackwork only a month before. Only reason I knew about this was work-I had been up interviewing with the track contractor a couple of months earlier.
