Back on April 1, 1976 (Conrail Day) I chased Burlington Northern's Princeton Local from Princeton to Elk River, Minn. It was led by GP9 1868, seen passing through Zimmerman, just one of dozens of GP9s on BN's roster. Fast forward to 2021: the line has long been ripped up and BN is gone, but last year the old 1868, once Northern Pacific 245, was acquired by the Lake Superior RR Museum and now works pulling North Shore Scenic Railroad trains. Some day it will get its NP colors back. Who would have thought it?
