PGR 40 parked
Title:  PGR 40 parked
Description:  The WN was a classic EMD fan's paradise as it seemed there was at least one cool unit in every town along the line. However this one was shut down. Dig the intact class lights! This unit has an interesting story as it currently carries the same number as when it was built for Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern. Surviving SD39s are not too common either, as only 54 units were built. I didn't notice it until looking closely at the picture, but there are signs mounted to the handrails along the long hood on each side. Per other photos, they read "Proud Shortline Partner of Canadian Pacific Railway."

I Hope They Bring Her Back Online
Title:  I Hope They Bring Her Back Online
Description:  Progressive Rail's ex-Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern SD39 was still at Northfield as of Memorial Day 2025. Still no word on whether or not PGR will reactivate this gem. I hope they bring her back online sometime soon!
