The last SOO unit is slowly coming back home to Bensenville Yard as I freak out behind the camera. I had planned this visit to Bensenville just to see this unit, but it left to go the Saint Paul literally two days before I left. I would have canceled the trip, but I already paid for my hotel reservation so I went anyways. Then the unit just appeared out of nowhere on the return train to Bensenville. I followed it back to the yard and watched it switch for half an hour. This is one of my greatest catches of all time.

Tom Beckett General Funny how time changes things. Back in the early 90's, when CP took over the D&H, SOO power was something of a novelty in the east. After a couple years, they were everywhere, and most trains had at least one. Now, 35 years later, people are scrambling to get the last ones!! 6/1/2025 5:16:39 AM
