Soo Line Surprise
While exploring Thunder Bay, I caught sight of SOO 4402 working in the yard area near the Canadian Pacific depot. I was in for a treat, since I had no clue this unit was living in Thunder Bay for the time being. I certainly did not expect to see one of the last two active SOO-painted units on the CPKC roster in 2025. I figured the era of seeing active Soo Line power was over, then I observed this take place. What a surprise! Any Soo Line unit makes my list of favorite moments for the year.
Going back into my own photo archive, I have previously photographed 4402 in Minnesota - Thief River Falls, Rochester, and Saint Paul. My last photo of this unit was on April 1, 2020 when it was working a local switch job in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
SOO 4402 is seen paired with former SOO 4421, now CP 4421, and enters the yard area south of downtown Thunder Bay.
