Separated Sisters
Subscribers to Duluth Museum news would have a seen the surprising, yet exciting, announcement that DM&IR 316 was headed to North Dakota with a former Northern Pacific high-hood geep coming to Duluth in exchange.
DMIR 316 was a virtual twin to 193, and were occasionally seen together, such as Railfan Weekend 2017.
I never did get to see the "Missabe Sisters" on an ore train, hopes were dashed in 2017 at the last moment, but I was able see them paired together, as shown.
This photo was the last time I'd see the 316 in action, trailing 193 on a "Missabe Officer Special".
