Remarks & Notes 
DMIR 165 leads a quartet of SDs on a manifest freight west across the unusual Interstate bridge that connects Oliver, WI to Steelton, MN. The two level bridge handles rail traffic on the top and highway traffic below. Note that the bridge was designed for double track, but also note the cut girders in the foreground. These were removed in the 1970s and used to build a new bridge over US 53 near Virginia, MN for entry into Minorca's new taconite plant. The Interstate branch gave DMIR connections with CNW and SOO as well as BN, and is now part of CN's mainline to Chicago.
