Bettendorf Siding, Bettendorf, IA |
| Description: |
The air is still and calm. The ground is hard and the roadways and sidewalks have a thin glazing of ice from the melted and re-frozen water on the surfaces of each. Church bells chime in the distance and a car passes on I-74 every now and then. A nice way to start the year railfanning. |
