New paint
Title:  New paint
Description:  DM&E had only recently been spun off from the CNW, and most of its power at that point was still in CNW green and yellow. This unit was one of the first repaints into this attractive blue and yellow, inspired by the Swedish flag, perhaps inspired by the heritage of many of the people who settled Minnesota and South Dakota, the roads primary service area.
