Minnesota Dakota and Western
Alco powered intermodal trains! Yes, the S2 fleet powers container trains on the MDW, they even have their own small container yard. Andy Inserra photo - International Falls, 5/16/06
MDW 16 pulls a cut of cars past the shops - the units sit inside at night in the heated shop, esp. nice in those freezing cold winters! Andy Inserra photo - International Falls, 5/16/06
MDW 20 is now a parts unit, helping keep the rest of the fleet alive... Andy Inserra photo - International Falls, 5/20/06
Here is MDW 16 on a train full of Boise Cascade cars (its
parent company). Note the man riding the steps on the left is running
the unit by remote control, their is no one in the cab.
Both these shots were taken at International Falls MN in September 2000.
