Railfanning CN on the Ex Duluth Missabe & Iron Range 8/31/18 to 9/2/18

[@RailfanningCN]

Love railfanning up there

[@spacecalander]

I loved those 3 EMDs taking off, best sound ever.

[@RailfanningCN]

You are certainly right

[@gradycook4694]

Thanks for sharing this. Used to watch the trains when I lived in Proctor many moons ago. Still have family in Proctor & Hermantown. Kind of place that gets stuck in your mind. Regret leaving

Hello friend. I loved witching this video. It is undoubtedly on of the best i've seen. Congratulations.

[@NYTrainzchaser]

Thanks!

I’ve always thought these SD40-3 rebuilds have to be one of the most successful upgrades ever done on locomotives. After CN took over, the word was those engines were gone and old SD40’s and GE’s could do the same job. Even today the Dash-3’s are still at it and they look like they’ll last forever.

[@Smee124]

nice catches, like the two black IC SD40-2

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

What a great video! You went to all my favorite places that I go to when I"m up there from Minneapolis for a day. The sound on this video is excellent on my good pair of speakers.

[@NYTrainzchaser]

Thanks!

@@NYTrainzchaser awesome video man! How busy is this line

[@MichiganRailProductions]

Awesome video! I want to venture up in the iron range one day to get some of the amazing power up there!

[@JohnR.1968]

Love those taconite cars .they look so cool I have about 20,video shows great how to weather .

[@RRChessie]

Enjoying your videos, I was curious which camera you use? Looking to get a 4k camera myself and liked the quality you are getting

[@NYTrainzchaser]

Thanks! I use an iPhone 7+ at 1080p for my videos.

[@AlexTrain5249]

Apparently these old EMDs are being stored in favor of the mighty Dash 8s. Hopefully those big ol’ Dash 8s can handle that job without breaking down every day.

[@TheCapitalRegionRailfan]

Wow! I thought they were both repainted by now. Cool video😃

[@NYTrainzchaser]

Thanks the SD40T-2 isn't repainted either.

[@TheCapitalRegionRailfan]

@@NYTrainzchaser Awesome

[@ctf6420]

Awesome video! Are all the SD40s gone now or are they still in use?

[@NYTrainzchaser]

Thanks! They still use a bunch of SD40s there.

[@southwestohiorails4645]

How often does CN run out of Proctor yard?

[@sqr2024]

Trains....godda love them trains.

[@randyoehling1701]

Anyone else miss the US Steel owned DM&IR? I like this video, but it seems out of place with the CN!

[@CSXYN4]

Nice catches!

[@NYTrainzchaser]

Thanks!

[@johnstafford4304]

more interesting is where the talconite cars are going ?

[@CrazyKaboose]

Why does it say DMIR on it is t DMIR out of service

[@andysylvester2566]

Crazy Kaboose cause it has too. It’s pretty much the VIN of the engine, no matter if the company sold out or not....for record keeping

[@B52Stratofortress1]

Not precisely. CN never bothered renumbering the DMIR fleet, even though they painted them. The DMIR reporting mark is owned by CN, so this is not an issue. As far as I know CN is the only railroad to not renumber locomotives when they acquire a railroad.

[@OsborneMcclintic]

this is where i learned to hop trains in the 4th grade....lol... go dm and IR

[@jamesburnside3023]

Great video

[@NYTrainzchaser]

Thanks!

[@railyardfilms6491]

A good pair

[@MarkBerg-tk8js]

Why would anyone in there right mind sell the most profitable RR in the country to a Canadian RR? DMIR never had to run looser passenger trains, etc! Commmnnnoonn tell me! I read frank Kings book years ago, live here “north of hy 2, and cannot figure it out. “

[@robertrussnogle7449]

Sure hauling the empty cars around

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

Taconite loads down to the dock, empties back up the hill. Throw a stone train in once a day or so. Conveyor belt railroading in a beautiful setting. If you like lakers it's more than likely you can catch one in the harbor.

[@kittty2005]

Gross where did CN get those horns?Texas light rail?My gosh they're horrifying.
