Not knowing any of the correct numbering of Mesaba's equipment, I guesstimated this lettering from 1) A picture in "Interurban Era" of passenger car No13, and 2) from Dave's post of his re-paint of the 62-ton steeplecab.
Dave, if you know the correct numbers for MERy snowsweepers, please inform me.Tim

RE: Mesaba Railway Co. X-55

Tim, I started that repaint with an "X" as the Mesaba didn't have any locomotives. They were a 99% passenger operation. Any freight cars they needed to pull, they used either a box motor, of one of two motorized flats. They didn't have any sprinklers or sweepers either, only one line car/snow plow. In it's 2002 reincarnation however, the ME has been able to float a large stock issue, and has been buying used locomotives and other equipment. They are hoping that a sweeper will be arriving any day now.
