This week's update contains the last set of photos from my trip to South Dakota during March. I drove northeast of Sioux Falls into Minnesota and found a former Conrail SW1200 hiding between the grain elevators at Jasper, MN. A former Santa Fe GP9 was also parked the the SW1200. A few miles down the road back in South Dakota, I stopped by Midwest Railcar Repair where there were dozens of freight cars in various stages of repair (see the new BNSF reefer box). And finally, I traced the Ellis and Eastern line east out of Sioux Falls and found an old signal mast on the old trackage. Enjoy the photos!
