Class Unit on the UKEEMAD

BN 9200 South wheels around the curve at Brook Park, MN with the all-rail tacontie train from Keewatin to Madison, IL back in June 2003.

 

This was a cool era for taconite and coal train out of Twin Ports with a variety of EMD DC powered SD60s and SD75s on the BNSF. These DC units lasted in this service until everything was made distributed power. This train left about the same time every afternoon out of Boylston and I should of made a few more chases with the nice DCs.

 

The consist here was BN 9200, BNSF 8266, and EMD 9021. The leader now works in black paint for NS, while the trailing Oakway is now employed by CN.
