Brad,
My understanding is that they are going to use a couple of Wisconsin and Southern's "New" GP-38s.
Although, they do have a large diesel of their own, Ex-Milwaukee Road RSC-2 #988.

From Mid-Continent Railway Museum news release: Mid-Continent is pleased to announce a special train excursion operating from Mid-Continent's North Freedom depot to the south shore of Devils Lake, at Devils Lake State Park, near Baraboo, Wisconsin. The diesel-powered trips will last about two hours and provide unique views of the Sauk County countryside and Devils Lake. Mid-Continent's train will be steam-heated if weather conditions require. Reservations are required and can be made on Mid-Continent's Reservation Page (http://www.midcontinent.org/reservations), or by calling 1-800-930-1385. All trains are round-trip only. Due to lack of facilities, passengers cannot detrain or board at Devils Lake. The route traversed by the Devils Lake Limited was once the mainline of Chicago & North Western (C&NW) from Chicago to the Twin Cities and hosted such famous passenger trains as the Dakota 400. All proceeds from this Special Event will be earmarked for restoring Mid-Continent's steam locomotives back to active service. Help us return steam trains to the Mid-Continent: come ride to Devils Lake October 26-27. SCHEDULE: Saturday & Sunday: 10:00am, 12:30pm, 3:00pm Saturday Dinner Train: 6:30pm Trains will leave promptly, please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure time for boarding. Also, additional info on their web site: Devil's Lake Limited ddg14@attbi.com |

What engines would they use? All I've ever seen up there are little switcher type diesels. Did they get a new big diesel engine? |
