ICY SOO Transfer

A play on the Twin Cities' "Rocky Soo Transfer," I shot IC&E’s train B73, the Nitrin Local rolling west through Moline, IL on a cold, January day in 2011.

 

The ICE 114 was built for the SOO in 1954 as their 2409, in Maroon and Gold paint. Later, it would receive SOO's iconic red and white paint, and it would serve in this manner for the SOO, I&M Rail Link, and IC&E. At this point, the unit was 56 years old, and still in regular service.
