A trio of DMIR SD38s are ready for their next assignment at Proctor, MN. The 203 is one of Missabe's original SD38AC acquisitions bought new from EMD. The 200 was originally Bessemer & Lake Erie 865, also an SD38AC. The 223 was originally Elgin , Joliet & Eastern 653, a regular SD38.
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
