DMIR SD-Ms 314 & 312, & SD-38AC 215, and a bunch of their siblings, all ready to work at Two Harbors Yard, in Minnesota's Arrowhead. 1990; taken with my Minolta Freedom 100. I was planning to model 314, and took several detail photos of her. We'll look at those next. Perhaps I'll build that model yet.

That's what Missabe did. Folks call the dirt "ore," but it's dirt all the same. Still what they haul, actually, but now they're a division of CN. Locomotive 312 , again; up close and personal. Shot with m' Freedom 100; 1990 at Two Harbors, Minnesota.

312 was originally DMIR 181, an SD-18 built by GM's Electromotive Division in 1960; she was rebuilt in 1989 into what the Missabe Road called an SD-M and renumbered at that time. The most obvious mark of an SD-M conversion was the low nose; all SD-9s & SD-18s arrived online as high nose locomotives. The other identifiable locomotives in this photo are 314--a similar backstory, and you'll see more of her--and 203, an SD38AC. The 312 was scrapped in 2002. Yeah, I know this set of notes jargon-infested. It's that railfan thing . --------------------- I plan to show a couple more photos of this loco before we do some more exploring around Two Harbors Yard.... Shot with my Minolta Freedom 100 in 1990; outing with the Missabe Railroad Historical Society.
