Wow, thanks for all the comments! When I get some more time I will post more photos then...I honestly thought no one would really be impressed. Some other photos are of the train entering Sioux Falls and the again leaving Sioux Falls, SD.

Nice job on the pictures. Try for a caboose ride some time too. They are just as much fun.

Nice shots... Heck, I'd much rather ride something like that then a big road train... Looks like a nice little line. The power looks in good shape too.

My excursion on a gravel train

Posted by Anonymous on Friday, November 12, 2004 10:26 AM

I know its not a fancy one, but took a trip on an 'ole workhorse the other day. It was alot of fun and saw some neat stuff. The engineer is an old friend of mine and we were finally able to get our schedules to mesh. I even got to sit at the helm for a bit[:D]. Here's a few pics from that day...This train is the DI (Dakota & Iowa) Railroad that is owned by a large gravel co. Makes trips from Hawarden, IA to Sioux Falls, SD and back to Sioux City, IA, using about 20 miles of the BNSF mainline near Vermillion, SD.

Here's the old workhorse attached to the short train of rock
