They were sent to Glendive, MT most likely for long term storage. If they were to be reactivated, they would have removed from the train at Northtown since that seems to be the EMD hub.
@kelbym07 Northtown is where a majority of EMD locomotives were stored. Glendive has a fully functional diesel shop that works soley on EMD locomotives. If they were headed to Glendive, the locomotives would have to be removed at Northtown or Dillworth anyway since this train moves across the Northern Transcon through Minot, not through Glendive.
All that train needed was a GP60M, take off the two Dash9's n put the GP60M on point then we would have a VERY NICE train! Good catch, n great vid.
