Chasing UP 4014 Across East-Central Iowa - 05 SEP 2024

On its way from Boone to Cedar Rapids, I chased 4014 from Boone to Luzerne (just east of Belle Plaine). It was a pretty good chase - didn't have to deal with selfish pacers holding up traffic, and aside from a brief rainstorm in the early afternoon, the weather was fine (though the sun constantly ducking in-and-out of the clouds made dialing in exposure difficult).
