Remarks & Notes |
DMIR units normally could be found working on the WC almost year round after the WC started to snare a substantial amount of all rail ore runs from Duluth to connections in Chicago. These were most often HP payback units as big WC power often operated right through to the Iron Range mines on DMIR rails. A group of hi-nosed DMIR SD's spent most of the end of there careers on the WC serving on local/road freights. Generally liked by most engine crews the heavily ballasted SD's pulled well and were reliable units. DMIR 155 is trailed by WC SDL39 583 as they depart Trout Lake westbound for Marquette with 42 cars. |
