Description

This is an EMD F9 A-unit that was built in 1957 at the EMD plant in LaGrange, IL. It spent its whole working life with the Erie Mining Company pulling iron ore cars to the ore docks on Lake Superior. When it was retired, it was given to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. Although this locomotive looks a little rough, it is in good working order and was left in Two Harbors for the weekend as backup motive power for the North Shore Scenic Railroad in case the Soo Line 2719 Steam Locomotive encountered problems.

The F9 was an early diesel locomotive. This model was often coupled with a cabless "B" unit to provide additional pulling power. The cabless unit was controlled from the cab of the "A" unit.
