DMIR 225, engineer's side |
| Description: |
Been many years since I stood up close to a standard gauge articulated steam locomotive (would have been the Big Boy at NRM in 1993). If you thought modern six-axle diesel locomotives were big, well... |

Off Kilter |
| Description: |
The photo's horizon is straight, but the display track on which the massive Yellowstone sits appears to have sunk a bit on the engineer's side. |

DMIR 225, fireman's side |
| Description: |
Although they had one fewer axle, these behemoth Yellowstones matched or exceeded Union Pacific's famous "Big Boys" in most metrics for size and power among steam locomotives. |

Sometimes you get lucky |
| Description: |
I hoped to catch the last two units left in service in DMIR paint on my first trip to the Twin Ports, but didn't really expect to. However, not long after I arrived at Proctor Yard I spotted 215 leading a switch job toward the north end of the yard! |

DMIR 215 about to duck under the St. Louis River Road bridge |
| Description: |
The photogenic deep maroon with gold trim of the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway, like the similar paint scheme of the Wisconsin Central LTD, has been almost eradicated from locomotives on the active roster of parent company Canadian National. 215 is one of only two left that still wear it. |

Two for two |
| Description: |
It was only partially visible from public roads, but it's the other one of the two active units left on the CN in DMIR paint. The conductor's side cab window appears to be boarded up, wonder what happened? |

The hits just keep on coming |
| Description: |
As soon as I got back from shooting the 403, this power set rolled to the north end of the yard. Units still in IC's "Deathstar Black," like the other fallen flags absorbed into the CN, are becoming hard to find. |
