About the video
After Canadian National’s aquisition of the DMIR, changes came to the taconite-hauling lines. A new paint scheme and power from other CN lines started showing up, general merchandise train counts rose, and EMD power was slowly replaced with GE power.
In part 2 of our 3-part series, we follow the Missabe Subdivision from Proctor yard north to Shelton Junction, where the Missabe joins the Rainy Subdivision, the line of the former Duluth, Winnipeg, & Pacific. We’ll see taconite and limestone operations, as well as the Canadian National “core” trains running on the mainline between Chicago, Pokegama, and Winnipeg.
We’ve made several trips to the area in all seasons, so you’ll see the brilliant sunshine of late summer/early fall, the rainy spring seasons, and snow. In addition to the taconite production, we’ll see the unique “T-bird” operations, raw ore being transferred from the mine to the production plant. We also caught ES44 gevos testing in taconite service. Join us for some of the most unique rail operations in the country!
