Another video by Rob Sved with IBCX 3492. See 6'30" for it. At the end they also show MR picking it up with one of the GP9's.

Looks like 3492 was one of the two IBCX SD40-2s that were being stored on the Indiana Northeastern last summer:

Re: Mineral Rail New Engine?
Hoping it’s not the end of the link for those two Geeps, thanks to the Michigan Tech University railcamp I attended back in August of 2021, we toured the Eagle Mills mine and the two locomotives that were there. Definitely something I won’t forget anytime soon. Photos in the cabs obviously taken with permission and was given the ok to post on social media, photos were not allowed inside the mine.
The fact they went with two SD40-2’s maybe means they have more traffic projected, definitely a good thing!

The green Geep has been gone for a while at this point.
