DMN = Duluth, Missabe & Northern Railway It is owned by CN, but the 2005 SPV Map indicates that BNSF and UP also use it.
The yard was built in 1984 to replace a yard in West Duluth. CN and Wisconsin Central would handoff trains at this yard. [wikimapia]

It had to abandon its downtown Duluth yard because of the extension of I-35. [Flickr photo comment]

| Kent Rengo posted Took this shot after work of a KRL depressed flat with an oversize load at Pokegama Yard in Superior on March 31st 2023. No idea as to its final destination. Jake Isaacson: Sure looks like the main body to a p&h crawler shovel bucket. I’ve built a few that looked really similar, Alex Silka: Going to some mining operation in Alberta, it rolled through Altoona a couple weeks ago. Bruce Kettunen: That appears to be the carbody for a very large power shovel like a P&H 4100 or Cat 7495. The tracks bolt to the long sides and the rolling ring and house go over the white area. Either that or a Stargate. Kevin Klitzke: Near Fort McMurray, AB is the destination. [Some comments from people that worked for P&H don't think it is a P&H base. P&H did not have that cone.] Brian Hahn: That's a carboy for a Cat (Bucyrus) mining shovel. Rich Pedersen: Looks like the carbody for a Cat 7495 rope shovel. Track frames bolt to the bolt holes you see on the side. Must be going to the Tar Sands. Jake Calkins: Pretty sure this was in Altoona yard about a month ago. [Where is the former Bucyrus plant?] |
