MDFC SW1200 #180 - Minn-Dak Farmers' Cooperative |
| Description: |
This good looking SW1200 switcher started out as Northern Pacific SW1200 #121 in March of 1955. After being absorbed into the Burlington Northern roster, it was eventually sold to the Minn-Dak Farmers' Cooperative for use at the grainery in Wahpeton, ND. Eric Berg took the photo as it sat outside the plant. Although not yet recognized by the RRPA databse, the reporting mark "MDFC" does belong to the Minn-Dak Farmers' Cooperative. |

| Description: |
The SW1200 switcher looks well maintained and definitely an asset at the grainery in Wahpeton, ND, even though it is approaching 50 years of service since being built by EMD in March of 1955. Eric Berg took the roster shot of the switcher while it was working the yard. |

Once the MDFC switcher 180 connected with the front grain car, the yard man steps in to check the coupling. Eric Berg caught the action while visiting the area. |
