SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — D&I Railroad SD40-2 No. 3023, one of five SD40-2s new to the railroad’s roster, leads an eastbound train at Sioux Falls, S.D., on April 13, 2022. Photographer Kevin J. Ryan says it is believed to be the locomotive’s first revenue trip on the railroad. The 138-mile D&I, a wholly owned subsidiary of L.G. Everist, a producer of construction aggregates and landscaping stone, operates between Sioux City, Iowa, and Dell Rapids, S.D. It interchanges with BNSF Railway, Canadian National, and the Union Pacific in Sioux City via BNSF trackage rights, and with BNSF in Sioux Falls.
