Nostalgia & History > Soo Line 775 - a lot can change in 20 yearsDate: 12/03/16 09:52 Soo Line 775 - a lot can change in 20 years Author: FT Sept. 8, 1992 at Shorham,MN I was interested in the words on the cab "Proud to be a part of CP RAIL SYSTEM" . Twenty years later, Sept 21,2012, I came across the 775 at Fordville, ND, on the Northern Plains Ry. Don't know if it was a parts unit, or going to be
rebuilt, but the difference was dramatic. Change can be unsettling, but inevitable. Keith A (ft)   Date: 12/03/16 10:14 Re: Soo Line 775 - a lot can change in 20 years Author: Dilworth i was in fordville

I've run that thought thru my mind many times over the years as I've seen new showroom fresh locos go thru this process.
