Independent Locomotive Service (Holt & Bethel, MN) has worked on many locomotives, including this SW1 working at the Crookston Farmer's Co-Op Elevator just south of town. In an ever increasing volume shipped out of grain elevators, local grain co-ops have needed motive power to shove around strings of hoppers instead of relying on Trackmobiles. #79 is an example of how motive power on a smaller scale is very much in demand.
