Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range SD9 No. 129 sits in Kennan Yard, Minnesota, on the night of September 21, 1991. Specially repainted in the original scheme, the locomotive was partially hidden in the engine servicing area. A friendly hostler spotted the locomotive for me, since he said he needed to start her up to get an oil sample anyway. Kennan Yard was a good place to photograph the Missabe!
