Located in south St. Paul near Newport on Hwy10-61, this
mini-mill recycles scrap metal into a full line of rebar and more.
EMD remote
controlled switcher 1678 does about switching their internal fleet of second
hand gons pulling scrap from the piles and shoving it into the mills. Andy

And here is 1678 as seen by Doug
Buell at ILS-Bethal back on 7-25-93. A few more parts have been added since
then and the yellow stripe is gone now... Doug Buell photo, Bob Anderson

And would you believe they have a second unit numbered
1678C? Yep, this one has no MU and is in a fresher coat of paint. It is a SW9,
ex CR 9123 from LTE that arrived in Sept 1997. Thanks to Ken Ardinger for the
info and Bob Anderson for the photo from Oct 2004

All of these units no longer work
for NSS in St Paul but did at one point...
