UP 8695 brings a sand train past the spring switch at the north end of Siding Kay on UP's Milwaukee Subdivision on October 1, 2017. The train is about to cross 4 Mile road in Caledonia on what was formerly the CNW New Line. Sand trains from Northern Wisconsin have brought a lot of business to this line.
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.
