  • The line is no longer in use, and none is foreseen. These special runs carried remaining ore pellets from the dock back to the plant site where they were produced. Some of the F9's are parked there still. An A and B unit are in Duluth at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum.

  • Is this line, and the F Units still going, or are they history here in 2011? Cool video, thanks for posting!

  • I like how the head unit just says "railroad" on it. :) Great shot of some vintage EMD F units!

  • Well this is so cool, since most companies would sell off, donate, or scrap vintage units like these. I wonder if the managers are rail fans at heart?

  • Nice. Good to see an old F9 at work.

  • Cliffs Erie 4211 and 4222 are preserved at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth, MN. 4211 is in operating condition and 4222 is in the process of being fixed.

  • sweet video! sorry i rated 4 stars i hit the rate button to fast lol i love that EMD sound!

  • Nice video! i didn't know they still had F9's around anymore

  • Nice shots. I was there the last haul in 2001. Glad to see the old girls running again. Beautiful
