On March 1, 1989, a quartet of Oakway Leasing EMD SD60s power a Burlington Northern grain train over Montana’s Marias Pass. Marching westbound through Marias in a lightly falling snow on this frigid day are Oakway Nos. 9011, 9009, 9046 and 9094.
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
