Great Northern SD9 in Mpls MN yard in 1970. |
| Description: |
The GN ordered their SD9s without dynamic brakes in the 1950s. Note the GN transfer caboose in the back has no capola. Overland makes these in HO. GN SD9s served into BN, and BNSF years as late as 2011. Some continue to serve as slugs on the BNSF in 2012. |

Great Northern SD9 at Minneapolis Junction in 1969. |
| Description: |
The Great Northern had a major roundhouse and deisel house at Mpls Jct by the Mpls Depot. They also serviced engines here for their major Great Northern University of Minnesota yard at Hwy 280. The GN backshops for rebuilds was at Dale St in St Paul MN near the Jackson St shops. The GN ordered their SD9s withouw dynamic brakes, so that is a way to determine GN or CBQ. The Jackson St Shops in St Paul has an operating SD9. SD9s survived working on the BNSF until 2011. |

Retired BNSF SD9 at Northtown Mpls Yard in 2011. |
| Description: |
The SD9s ran on the GN, BN and BNSF serving for more than 50+ years of revenue generating service. Its my favorite engine of all time. Note the shop crews put GN on the unit in its final days, just like its first day on the job. |
