Just Gonna Sneak Past Ya
DM&IR 413 South crosses around DMIR 408 and into the arrival yard at Proctor. At the time of this photo in April 2005, CN had been running the Missabe for less than a year and there still weren't many visual or operational changes.
The DMIR 413 South was a Fairlane pellet load while the 408 was a Minntac load that will weigh into the yard on the West Scale Track. Back then Minntac trains had to weigh here at Proctor or Highland, but now they handle that at the plant. The Scale House is still intact at Proctor but no longer used.
CN/Missabe Pellet trains ran with two SD40-3s at this time both out of Two Harbors and Proctor. The SD-M and SD38 behind the 413 and 416 were picked up at Keenan. Back then, the Fairlane pellet trains still did these power moves as the MRF ran only twice per week, and there was no L567/568 yet.
