PHOTO OF THE WEEK AWARD - Illinois Central 6256, an SD40-3 is shoving a loaded taconite pellet train onto the 1918 built Dock 6 at Duluth, Minnesota. This locomotive was built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division in LaGrange, Illinois, in November 1976 as Burlington Northern 6757, an SD40-2. The train is unloading taconite pellets onto M/V Indiana Harbor. The 989 foot vessel was built in 1979 in Surgeon Bay, Wisconsin, and coincidently is also EMD powered. Four 3,500 horsepower EMD engines power this ship. It is very impressive to see these well built machines still moving America, unloading product on a dock built 105-years-ago - 20 May 2023 Doug Boudrow.
