So Long, My Friends |
| Description: |
Two veteran units await their fate while parked in a small string of stored units (and one snowplow) north of the University Avenue bridge at Northtown. New paint did not ensure the 1720 would roll for the BNSF, its third owner, forever. Thank heavens one of her brethren escaped to the Minnesota Transportation Museum. If only that 45-2 ahead of the 1720 could make such an escape. |

I remember the days when SD9s and SW1500s like these babies were yard power on the BNSF. Now these two old friends of mine are sitting in Northtown awaiting final disposition. |

Far From Northtown Yard |
| Description: |
The last duties for MTM's SD9 was switching at Northown yard in Minneapolis. Here she cools her wheels on the south side of the Osceola depot's team track tacked on behind MTM's ex-BN/GN SDP40. No need to worry about switching cars today. |

Larry ties down the 6234 prior to heading home for$the day. Soon a fresh crew will arrive to man her for the evening dinner train to Marine on St. Croix. Thanks to the kindness of MTM members Nick, Noel, and Larry, I got to enjoy a cab ride in the 6234 from Dresser to Osceola. Thanks guys! :-) |
