DMVW’s Cowl Convention
Author: bmarti7

Three of the railroad's five cowl units convened today at the DMVW's shop in east Bismarck. A SD50F and SD45 occupy the shop lead, while two SD60F's hold the main to Max. The 5544 displays a memorial to Perry Nelson, a DMVW employee who died unexpectedly in June.

Sad about their employee, Perry Nelso. What a nice way to remember him. He was born 9 days after our daughter and died on my wife's birthday.

I think the dates shown are his years of service with the company.

Regardless, it is a nice tribute.

Interesting to see these units get another life after sitting in storage ("100+ CN's at Centralia, Illinois" thread by ohiorailfan 4 years ago) for a spell. Very warm cabs during the summertime. But they weren't bashful about converting diesel fuel to amps. Thanks for posting.
