U713 - Sax, MN
U713, taconite loads from Minntac are flying down highway 7. At this time in 2023 new cars to replace the steam era DM&IR hoppers were just a rumor. Straight air dash 9 rebuilds weren't on our radar at all. It wasn't long before the iron range would look very different.
This was from a great trip up north with Henry Jansen. I really miss when the range looked like this. I never made it up to shoot the searchlights and DMIR power on tac trains. But I am thankful I as able to photograph the dash 8s, EMDs and especially the Missabe ore cars.
