E&E 47 East empty sand train, Sioux Falls, South Dakota_
Here the Chicago Central passes through downtown Dubuque...Just kidding...its the Ellis & Eastern road job passing through Sioux Falls en route to Corson to load sand. What was then brand new to them GP38-3 leading the way.
Number 47 was originally built with a high short hood as Southern Railway 2740, a straight GP38. Work performed at Metro East Industries of St Louis brought it to Dash-3 standards and a chopped nose before arriving Sioux Falls in January 2010.
