CNW 6829 crosses the Escanaba River in Escanaba, MI in the waning daylight of a beautiful day in May of 1988. The E&LS tracks are in the foreground and the bridge piers from the long gone interurban are on the left. The CNW is gone, the ore trains are gone,and the bridge the train is on has been replaced.
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.
