The second Rock Island heritage unit on Iowa Interstate, ES44AC 516, pauses at Silvis on the point of the SABI train. This would ordinarily be the Council Bluffs-Blue Island CBBI train, but a track project west of South Amana has temporarily severed the main line; instead, this abbreviated South Amana-Blue Island train was run.
