Only saw new paints including at Huron. When were these taken? Bob Date: 10/15/18 10:00 Re: In the Dakotas. Author: qman Aug., 2017.

Chris Date: 10/15/18 20:53 Re: In the Dakotas. Author: wpjones They've had a 70 ton center cab for as long as I've been going up there. (20 years?) They got the Geep 6 or 7 years ago as a rescue Engine and power for when the 110 was down for boiler wash. They needed to double head the 104 and 7 for the 7 car train which took twice the crew but sure sounded good climbing Tim Mill. Now the 7 is stuffed and mounted so never see a double header again.

I made reservations for the second train of the day outa Hill City and was surprised when the first train was pulled up from Keystone with the dismal! Was told it was SOP to run the first train of the day with the diesel. Our train was pulled by #110. GREAT RIDE!

I've been to Hill City and ridden the line on numerous occasions, as late as Sept, 2017. I just never saw the diesel. |
