EMDX 9082 Eastbound Bismarck ND
Two BN SD60Ms and an old ex-Oakway SD60 lead a coal train over the Missouri River Bridge at Bismarck, ND, the morning in September 2004. This bridge links Mandan (crew change and service point) with the state capital of Bismarck on this ex-Northern Pacific main line which sees mainly coal trains. Back in 2004 DC power was still a strong hold as power. AC-DP power would eventually make it to this line, but would hold off for long time.
