Remarks & Notes |
An empty ore train out of Two Harbors is about 78 miles into their trip north to the Minntac Plant near Mountain Iron, MN. These trains make the 168 mile round trip to and from Two Harbors many times daily to load ore pellets bound for shipment on the Great Lakes. CN has went to these ex-CNW dash 8's now for power replacing the 4-3000 horse older units that were the standard power for awhile. These units have to be retrofitted with straight air to assist trains down the mountain grade into Two Harbors. Here the train works between Iron Jct and Wolfe on the Missabe Sub. |
