PGR 40 parked
Title:  PGR 40 parked
Description:  The WN was a classic EMD fan's paradise as it seemed there was at least one cool unit in every town along the line. However this one was shut down. Dig the intact class lights! This unit has an interesting story as it currently carries the same number as when it was built for Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern. Surviving SD39s are not too common either, as only 54 units were built. I didn't notice it until looking closely at the picture, but there are signs mounted to the handrails along the long hood on each side. Per other photos, they read "Proud Shortline Partner of Canadian Pacific Railway."

The Prize
Title:  The Prize
Description:  I came all the way to Northfield with the goal of seeing Progressive Rail #40, the famous ex-Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern locomotive that is plying home rails again between Northfield and Lakeville after a stint on PGR's Wisconsin Northern. Here the veteran unit is idling at the Northfield yard in company with CBFX 3805 (just visible at left) on a gorgeous April afternoon.

There She Be

Description:  My buddy Andy and I found Progressive Rail's ex-Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern SD39 sitting in the south end of the yard, where she's been for some time due to a mechanical issue. I sure hope PGR gets her back up and running soon.
