Soo Line Winters
SOO AS-616 392 leads a freight train into Houghton, MI., during a typical Upper Peninsula winter season in this 1964 - 1965 photo.
SOO 392 is no stranger stranger to the cold, harsh, and snowy winters typical of the Houghton area. 392 was originally built in February of 1951 for the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Railroad as it's locomotive number 208.
The Soo Line acquired the DSS&A on January 1st. 1961, and shortly after renumbered it 392. In late October/early November of 1963 the Soo Line repainted it into there classic red and off white paint. 392 was retired and scraped in 1969.
The Soo Line it's self was relatively new to the scene in Houghton, having not reached the town until the DSSA acquisition in 1961.
