Remarks & Notes

October 1941 saw the release of Disney's "Dumbo," the last day of carving on Mount Rushmore, and the almost daily escalation of World War II overseas by the German Reich. It was also the month that General Motor's Electro-Motive Division (it had been the Electro-Motive Corporation ten months earlier) delivered S/N 1399, a 600-hp SW-1 numbered 241 to the EJ&E. Today, this same locomotive - very little modified - operates for the Cloquet Terminal as No. 33 (before that, it worked for CT predecessor Duluth & Northeastern). That's 72 years in service. It's truly a relic from another time. Imagine if the 1831 "John Bull" was still being used to switch cars in 1903, or the "Jupiter" of Golden Spike fame was kept running by the Southern Pacific until 1942? Perhaps No. 33 will make it to 100 before she's finally put out to pasture.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
