On this day (October 27) ten years ago, Cliffs Erie ran their last eastbound train to Taconite Harbor to deliver side dump cars. Those cars would be loaded with limestone and taken to the Dunka Branch the following day where the limestone would be used at the Dunka Mine water treatment ponds.
The last westbound train on October 28 also had tank cars with dirty water being moved to Hoyt Lakes. It is nice to see Cliffs Erie using the western portion of the mainline in 2018, albeit just for sand car storage (two borrowed NSM SD40-2s provide the power).

Although fall is the prime color time these summer flowers help add to the scene of this loaded 119-car train on July 3, 2000.
Chessie 4210 rests at the Lincoln Park engine facility in Rochester, NY on March 23, 1983. The RS-97 crew would come on duty and wye the engine before heading down to Brooks and getting the train. I ended up chasing them all the way to Gainesville.
After uncoupling from the empty double stacks they had just pulled out from the Apodaca Intermodal Facility, this Ex-SP GP40-2 & Ex-FNM SD40-2 pair pause for a second as they get ready to run around their train to proceed south.
Something I kept wondering was how this consist would've looked like if both engines were on it's prime, the GeeP sporting bloody nose paint and the eSDee being unpatched and un-renumbered, oh what a sight that would've been!

There's no mistaking the heritage of this GP40-2 with the lobotomized light package on the nose.
Long live SP!

Again we see F9A 4210 on the dock at Taconite Harbor, MN, this time as part of a Cliffs Erie move to bring mill parts that were hauled east on the mainline the fall before. After hauling them east, it was decided some of the parts needed to be hauled west back to the former Erie Mining plant site so the mill parts could be trucked to Duluth and sold to India.
Here as part of the move, CE 4210 and a B unit are backing up to pick up RS11 7209 and a water car up on the ore dock at Taconite Harbor on June 5, 2006. We thought this was probably the last of the F-units on the Erie Mining mainline, but they would come back again during 2008 to move the chips and fines out of the ore dock, in probably what was the end.
