DBGX 6129; Benkelman, NE. 1
Title:  DBGX 6129; Benkelman, NE. 1
Description:  DeBruce Grain 6129 has a history. This notable SD-9 was built 4/59 as C&S #837, going to BN and then for a short time BNSF, before being put out to pasture. The unit was sent to DeBruce with her BNSF markings blanked out, but as it seems, they have 'mysteriously' reappeared....I beleive she now works at Benkleman for Kappa grain, whose staff seems to be taking great care of her. Photos by permission.
