Man, what a kick-ass time and place to be. As you may recall, BN's SD60s were based out of Glendive and mostly stayed on the old NP hauling Detroit Edison loads from the northern mines to the docks at Superior. If you wanted bulldogs and submarines, you had to go to North Dakota.

The thing is, it's a long goddamn way from Lincoln to North Dakota. I had my first F150 at the time and nearly ran that bitch out of gas, racking up about 520 miles on the drive from Lincoln to Fargo. And that was only half way. And on the way home, via US85, Crawford was half way. Shhhhheeeeeeeeiiiitt.

But man was it ever worth it. This was my one and only trip, by myself, in mid-September 1994. As it so happened, I met Dan Poitras out there, a prolific and talented BN shooter. It's certainly a trip I'll never forget. And I got some decent images too. Yes, I have this in color as well, so it will turn up eventually.
