Soo Line power is still around, and putting on a show in the Twin Cities area well into 2020. In this video we'll see Soo 4412, a GP38-2 built in 1978, on the scrap job and getting a workout in run 8. The roots blown 645 sounds great as the classic EMD leans into a heavy cut of cars as it switches them out, and eventually shoves them back. This is on former Milwaukee Road tracks, just outside of Saint Paul Yard. While many former Soo Line GP38-2s are still on Canadian Pacific's roster, only a handful still wear Soo colors. Shoot the Soo Line units while you can - their time is definitely limited!
