U-CXYTND0-23T @ Hancock
Former Clinchfield 3020 and L&N 1239 disturb the peace of Hancock, MN with crude empties bound for Trenton, ND.
The two of these getting the call for sole power on an interchange unit train is just another feat to add to their resumés thus far. They are modern day survivors in a sea of much more powerful, fuel efficient, and computerized equipment. Between the two of them one can chalk up over 87 years of service, all with their original company and successor. Any spartan cab leader nowadays is special, but these eldest SD40 models provide a slightly different flavor than a bonafide Dash 2. A pair of them is as delicious as a slice of french silk.
For me this is heaven.
