| Remarks & Notes |
| An empty ore train out of Two Harbors is about 80 minutes into their trip north to the Minntac Plant near Mountain Iron. These trains make the 168 mile round trip to and from Two Harbors many times daily to load ore pellets bound for shipment on the Great Lakes. CN has went to these ex-CNW dash 8's now for power replacing the 4-3000 horse older units that was the standard power for awhile. These units have to be retrofitted with straight air to assist trains down the mountain grade into Two Harbors. Here the train works between Jones and Sparta on the Iron Range Sub. |
