Soo 784,2200A have a heavy 912 moving right along near Garnet. The 2200A is one of four late model F3's still on the Soo roster but is within weeks of retirement and trade in on a new GP38-2.

Soo 2202A,738 blast through the snow leading #912 east on a icy Feb. morning. By this time Soo F's were not popular lead units, so this was a lucky event in my world, if not that of the engine cre... (more)
Soo 500A,2400,551 ease to a stop with the 136 cars of today's #912 just west of Trout Lake. Catching three 1st generation units together on this train was rare even at this date. A normal consist ... (more)
