No. 8732 - Duluth Missabe & Iron Range - Proctor, Minn.

Duluth Missabe & Iron Range EMD SD38-2 leads empty taconite ore jennies up the hill and back into Proctor, Minnesota. This trip is repeated throughout the day hauling taconite pellets down to the shipping docks in Duluth. DMIR 211 was renumbered as DMIR 9002 in September 1998 to celebrate the railroad being "ISO 9002" compliant. It wore this number for almost a decade before reverting back to 211. This unit now wears Canadian National paint but still retains DMIR 211.
