First MNS unit seen in Trout Lake
Soo bought the MNS while attempting to buy the ex RI spine line from the Twin Cities to KC. The MNS would have made a nice connection between the Soo and the ex RI. That didn't work out and the Soo found themselves in possession of a group of SW switch engines and a pair of SD39's. The big SD's were soon in system wide service and here's 41 leading a Soo GP9 on train 910 at Trout Lake in Oct 1983.
