A documentary film has been released about the history of the Iowa Interstate Railroad LLC, which marked its 40th anniversary in 2024.
Founded in 1984 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the railroad began as a startup regional line and evolved into a transportation corridor connecting Iowa with the national rail network. The railroad was crated during a period of transition and uncertainty in the U.S. rail industry, IAIS officials said in a press release.
Titled "Revival and Redemption: Iowa Interstate at 40," the documentary explores the IAIS' evolution and features archival footage, newly filmed interviews and on-the-rail action scenes.
“The Iowa Interstate Railroad represents what can happen when local leadership, passionate employees, and strong communities come together to preserve and enhance an essential transportation link," said IAIS Chairman Henry Posner III.
The film is available for viewing on YouTube.
