BLE SD40 - 3 #904 started out as SP SD45T - 2 #9269, later renumbered #6816.

DM&IR #400 started life out as SP SD45T - 2 #9196, it was later renumbered to #6770, dt was purchased by the DM&IR and remanufactured by Helm Leasing and reclassified as a SD40 - 3, it spent most of it's new life in the Maroon and Gold Scheme, but in 2004, DM&IR and sister RR, B&LE wereÛqurchased by CN and it's been repainted.

BLE 904 South
Title:  BLE 904 South
Description:  Here's a close up shot of BLE SD40 - 3, originally a SP SD45T - 2 and remanufacture to it's current look and owner. It still sounds nice and looking very good in an age of high tech and high horsepower EMDs and GEs. This khnd of power is still doing taconite service on the North Shore while Class Ones resort to SD70ACes, SD70MACs, GEVOs, and AC4400CWs. Thanks for the great memories DM&IR and the awesome roster of 1st and 2id generation of EMDs
