Ex-BNSF 1685 has just coupled up to the historic 100+ year old Prairie Dog Central passenger cars, and is getting ready to file them away into the shed. This unit was built in 1957 for Manitoba Great Northern Railway, but was painted in Midland Railway of Manitoba colours as locomotive number 2. In 1971, it became Burlington Northern Manitoba 2, then in 1999 it became BNSF Manitoba 1685. It was retired in 2007 and donated to the PDC in 2010.
