The back of the photo says " A dinner train on the Great Western! The Star Clipper enters the Old Clarion Line from Cedar Valley's main (former IC) at the Waverly diamond. The train has just loaded at the IC depot in Waverly, somewhat reminiscent of Dubuque & Dakota's arrangement of over a hundred years ago. We are looking to the west; the track to the left runs to Shell Rocks. #407 is a former C&NW commuter F7. The diamond has already been removed and interlocking signals were taken out of service by Cedar Valley crews by the time of this photo. Photo by Paul Swanson. Return to Paul Swanson, 710 1st Ave. NW., Waverly IA 50677 ".
