Found some pics frm this summer, decided to share them with you all.
Myself, James and Kale all work/volunteer at the NSSR/LSRM.

You guys have already seen the #700.

Great Northern NW5 #192 basks in the sun:

Nice little speeder stored in the museum:

One of my baby's, DMIR Bay Window Caboose #C-205, with guess who? JAMES!:

One of oldest RDC's operating, BUDD RDC #9169(Kales namesake)

Finally, my "other" baby, DMIR SDM, former SD18 #193:

P.S.: Like my profile?

I used to work in Duluth - St. Mary's. Lived in Esko. I was not into RR then so I did not pay a lot of attention.

Could you please describe exactly where in Duluth your pics are? Any pics showing the 'bigger picture'?

'Bigger' meaning a view farther back - to show where the depot is in relation to surrounding structures, etc.

I guess i can get on terraserver and see some overheads...

THE 9169 IS THE OLDEST BUDDCAR that operates under it's own power(with original engines) Athough operating it is extreamlly costlly.

GREAT NORTHERN MAX

Don't think DMIR had mountains(4-8-4) or many with air compressors on the firebox...
