DMIR 405 |
| Description: |
What's better getting a Dash 9 lead a loaded taconite train or a SD40 - 3 (Rebuilt Tunnel Motor) in Maroon and Gold paint? I would take a Maroon and Gold unit leading over any Dash 9. But here we see DM&IR SD40 - 2 #405 lead DM&IR SD-M #308 and DM&IR SD38AC #200. #200 is also the Class Unit of the SD38 series on the DM&IR roster |

DMIR 405 |
| Description: |
One number in each of DM&IR's roster. A SD40 - 3 leads a SD-M and a SD38AC. This scene can't be replicated anymore, it's sad, but the thurth is, once a Class One gets their hands on a shortline and they retire older power and bring newer units to replace them |

DM&IR: NEVER FORGOTTEN |
| Description: |
In this classic scene, which for over 50 years could have been replicated every day and 100s of times are about to end, the end of an era for DM&IR. The classic Maroon and Gold paint and the classic DM&IR power are going to disappear forever, but the DM&IR spirit will live on. THANKS DM&IR FOR MANY GREAT YEARS, YOU NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. A true Minnesota railroad and now a fallen flag. The DM&IR Power are looking on here at Proctor |

DM&IR SD38ACs at Proctor |
| Description: |
In 2011, Proctor Yard has a selection of Dash 8s, SD40 - 3 Tunnel Motors, SD40 - 2/Ws, SD60Fs, and what's left of DM&IR in particular, but in 2007, it was all DM&IR, CN was just about to get rid of these classic beasts for good. The DM&IR Maroon and Gold, the SD38ACs, SD38s, SD38 - 2s, SD40 - 3s, and SD-Ms were about to disappear and the railroad, a fallen flag. |

Classic Scene That Will Faded Into History |
| Description: |
A classic scene which will disapper into history, this is a sad reminder of what will happen to the greatest and most true Minnesota railroad, in the next couple of years following this photo, 3/4ths of the SD38/AC/-2 fleet was retired, many of the SD40 - 3 Tunnel Motors gone or repainted, and the SDMs, the best DM&IR rebuilds dissappering into history. The railroad's spirit will still be with us and it will never be forgotten. Today, this scene would be totally different, CN would put many big time locomotives up here, it would include Dash 8 - 40Cs, SD40 - 2s/Ws, SD60Fs, Dash 9 - 44CWs, and GEVOs. the classic DM&IR Power would be no more, THANKS DM&IR FOR ALL THE MANY GREAT YEARS |

Today in 2011, DM&IR SD40 - 3 #412 is the last Tunnel Motor in DM&IR paint, but in 2007, there was still several not repainted or retired, these classics were going fast. A true Minnesota railroad was about to become a fallen flag, but never forgotten, Thank DM&IR for many good years, I won't forget about you |

Poor DM&IR Tunnel Motors |

Not this is terrible to see the Gold and Maroon Paint leaving the Tunnel Motors and other former DM&IR units. But thankful CN decided not to repaint #403 and #215, they are the last of their kinds now |
