Cab Ride in a DSRC ALCO C420: My 100th youtube video!
Loading...
Uploaded by mafarnz on Oct 14, 2009
The Dakota Southern Railway (DSRC) was recently purchased by Stan Patterson and Mike Williams. The DSRC uses an ex LIRR high-hood C420 set up for long hood forward operation for some of it's trains. Here we ride along in the very first train that was ran after the new owners purchased it. On this day, the crew ran a short train from the BNSF interchange to a box factory in Mitchell SD. The junction is between the Aberdeen and Rapid City lines. All of the track shown in the video is ex Milwaukee Road track. The change from BNSF track to the DSRC is VERY evident! This is one of the few railroads that I know of that has to mow its main line. #213 has a very nice sounding Nathan M3 mounted on it.

@mafarnz Thank you for clearing that up. I'm a local foamer and had been wondering abour that.

@jason1trosvig It wasn't BNSF that planned on running the 110 car trains, it's the DSRC. Also with BNSF having been on a mission to shed branch lines I think it unlikely they would want to purchase the line.

Is 213 still geared for passenger use?

I was told that the DSRC swapped out it's trucks for the ones under the SOO GP30, so no.

Would you know what number this was on the LIRR?

Not off hand no, but I'll see what I can find out.
