BLE 904 South |
Description: |
Here's a close up shot of BLE SD40 - 3, originally a SP SD45T - 2 and remanufacture to it's current look and owner. It still sounds nice and looking very good in an age of high tech and high horsepower EMDs and GEs. This khnd of power is still doing taconite service on the North Shore while Class Ones resort to SD70ACes, SD70MACs, GEVOs, and AC4400CWs. Thanks for the great memories DM&IR and the awesome roster of 1st and 2id generation of EMDs |

Here's a close up shot of IC SD40 - 3 #6263, This unit is in a consist of different heritages. BLE SD40 - 3 #904 and DM&IR #400 started out as SD45T - 2s on the SP, but IC #6263 started out as a BN SD40 - 2. Nice looking unit if it were still in IC paint |
