EMD и дымящие GE в Missabe

The former DM IR is in a transition phase; the classic EMD power is slowly being phased out by newer General Electric C408s. While this has largely displaced most of the tunnel motors, and SD402s, there are still pockets where they hold on. Some of C408s are off of the Missabe for a bit getting PTC added, thus the EMDs have made a small return to fill this void on the TBird trains. In this video, we ll see TBirds pulled by all EMD power as they run from the Thunderbird Mine to Fairlane for unloading. One set even features a tunnel motor trio, and the classic DM IR ore car sets. A trip to the Iron Range wouldn t be compete without a taconite train, and we ll see one lead with a trio of smoking C408s. We ll first see the trio at Wolf, and then get it again near Ramshaw as it coughs up clouds of black smoke.
