Missabe 312

Missabe 312
312 was originally DMIR 181, an SD-18 built by GM's Electromotive Division in 1960; she was rebuilt in 1989 into what the Missabe Road called an SD-M and renumbered at that time. The most obvious mark of an SD-M conversion was the low nose; all SD-9s & SD-18s arrived online as high nose locomotives.

The other identifiable locomotives in this photo are 314--a similar backstory, and you'll see more of her--and 203, an SD38AC.

The 312 was scrapped in 2002.

Yeah, I know this set of notes jargon-infested. It's that railfan thing.

I plan to show a couple more photos of this loco before we do some more exploring around Two Harbors Yard....
