NPR 1905

A side profile roster shot of NPR 1905, now classified at a GP9 locomotive originally built as Rock Island 1282 before operating under the Chicago Northwestern and later Dakota and Iowa. The unit is not assigned to the Farmer's Elevator Company of Honeyford in Honeyford, North Dakota at the southern end of the spur from Forest River down through Gilby and Johnstown. The railroad was the Northern Pacific route from Grand Forks to Pembina and Winnipeg. It hosted NP's passenger train to Winnipeg. A Budd RDC used to traverse this area, imagine.
