2022-06-02 Amtrak 8 and ADM 45-Tonner at Red Wing

2022-06-02 Arriving Amtrak 8 with new Charger unit #300 passes retired ADM 45-Tonner Loco at at Red Wing.

The 45-Tonner had spent many years switching grain cars at ADM's Red Wing elevator facility. but was retired several years ago and stored on a remote piece of track behind Barn Bluff. During succeeding years the loco was badly vandalized and its future is now uncertain. The loco was recently moved to a more public storage location where vandalism is presumably less risky. Still, this loco seems to be on borrowed time as it seems ADM is uninterested in returning it to service. This location belongs on someone's short line or museum.
