DMIR 210
Title:  DMIR 210
Description:  This loaded T-bird was the only time I caught a DMIR engine leading a train, and one of only three I saw on my trip (one of which was non-operational). Funny thing is, the 210 looks like it's running better than the IC behind it, a number of which were brought up to replace engines like the SD38-2.
