BN 9221 West of Steele ND Westbound train ECOBRBM
When I made a trip to North Dakota to shoot the Northern Coal Route, this route was just starting to change over to the AC-DP coal trains. For many years DC power will the strong hold for this route due to the smaller train sizes out of the PBR. Was kind of cool to see sets of ex-BN SD60M's, EMD SD60's, and ex-Santa Fe SD75M's muscling coal trains across this scenic piece of railroad.
Here a trio of BN SD60M's hammer west thru the swap area west of Steel, on the Mandan to Fargo section of this route.
