CN 3349 Southbound U78981-14 at Biwabik MN
The power changes have been fairly quick on the Iron Range this winter. A place where EMDs held down the stronghold for years has now gone from older GEs to brand-new GEs. Rebuilt AC44C6Ms are moving the ore trains now for CN in the Missabe Territory. Older EMDs are still doing local service and occasional ore trains, but the new wave is in full swing. Couple 3300's head back to Two Harbors with 145 loads out of Minntac. The train has just cleared Biwabik as they pass Embarrass Lake on the Iron Range Sub.
