Seeing Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific #5910 at Superior, Wisconsin

Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific was one of the first of the Canadian National family of railroads I personally saw.  I visited Superior, Wisconsin on a trip from Davis to Seattle to Chicago in 1991.  In the yard, I saw Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific SD40 #5910.  That summer, upon returning home, I drew this locomotive among many others in my decision to become a railroad artist.

A Stop in Proctor, Minnesota to See Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range

On my first journey to Chicago to see trains in 1991, I headed east from Essex, Montana to Proctor, Minnesota, where I saw Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range.  Having watched mostly lumber trains, intermodal trains and grain trains, it was exciting to see a railroad that's chief source of traffic was taconite ore.
I had always been fascinated by Duluth Missabe and Iron Range's arrowhead logo and its Mineral Red and Yellow paint scheme.  It was exciting to stand in Minnesota and finally see this great railroad.
