DAIR (Dakota and Iowa) northbound over the actual falls at Sioux Falls, S.D.

Most of the Ellis and Eastern roster on one train. The SW’s were helping the 47/37 pair due to stalling up the hill out of Sioux Falls.

E&E 7 and 17 in downtown SF.

SWs cut away, the 47/37 continue on.

Two views of the 47/37 pair working a sand loadout east of town.
