Nostalgia & History > A (unitentional) DM&IR break

I didn't mean to scan these. Tonight a good friend of mine called up and had a few questions about DM&IR SD40-3 418. I scanned the 418, and then decided to scan a few more images for the good people here at trainorders. Unintentional enjoyment.

#1 SD38-2 215 is leading a loaded tac train from Proctor, MN down to the ore docks in Duluth. Amazing the sun came out when I was there!

#2 Going away.

#3 SD38-2 9002 with a special number and decal.

#2 Lotsa ore cars.

#3 Closeup of the 9002's decal.

You can just go right on makin' unintentional posts, as far as I'm concerned.

I know not who was Proctor Knott.

Thanks Google. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Proctor_Knott

This was a good day. I'm so happy and fortunate I caught this train.
