Oakway Trio

We called these Oakways for the leasing arm EMD created to supply SD60s to BN. By 2001 the nose logo had faded due to the nice job Glendive did to keep the units clean. Here a fairly rare trio (for ore duty) leads an all-rail ore empty up the DM&IR at the North Cloquet Road en route to Minntac.

 

After fighting clouds as the train worked up Steelton Hill the sun made a fortuitous appearance here. After loading the train will head to the Fairfield Mill in Alabama (its blast furnace has since closed).
