Canadian Pacific's business train takes it easy as it traverses floodwaters just south of Bellevue, Iowa, on April 30. The Mississippi River is normally a quarter of a mile away from the mainline to the left, but near record flooding in the area has inundated CP's mainlines in several locations. While this train was heading north, a temporary levee approximately 50 miles south was breaching in the town of Davenport, Iowa, sending flood waters into portions of the downtown area and severing CP's mainline to Kansas City.

The business train was traveling from Bensenville Yard in the Chicago area to La Crosse, Wisconsin, via Savanna, Illinois.
