Just a great photo. It's neat how these old photos hold up over time if they're taken well! Nice job, Bill!!

Thanks for sharing the "Goat" flashback from the Twin Ports. Nice to see they were fairly clean.

Thanks Jeff and Dave. The former GN680 is still at work on MRL, abeit with a chopped nose, dynamic brakes and a modern engine starting device. The give away is the extra single headlight on the long hood. GN 679 and 680 had a single warning light above the normal twin sealed beam headlight. By 1969, 680's was still red, 679 was white. Also, there is still a GN "iron ore" SD9 parked at Interbay in Seattle. It would sure be nice to move that to the Duluth museum and get it back to GN.

I just found out that GN 558 is alive serving an elevator at Litchfield, MN. Quite a career for both of these locos.
