March 2, 1985 in Douglas

Burlington Northern Crews are seen here backing the train up and maneuvering their caboose onto the Douglas Siding so it can be lashed up on the end.  Locals are seen along the Highway 2 grade crossing watching the last bit of railroad action before this train leaves, never to return.  Tim Repp captured this “Last Train" shot on March 2, 1985.  The locomotives that they used on this last run were GP39-2 #2730 & #2738.  Here are some more "Last Train" pictures from March 2, 1985. And a couple more.  2009 photo of #2730.  2010 photo of #2738
