[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ironhorseman</i> <br /><br />I've mentioned this before on another topic (can't remember which offhand) but saw Soo Line SD50s (or 60s). Are they fallen flags? The amazing this was these were all white with the red fronts, there were two of them, and they were leading a southward vehicle train over BNSF tracks with no BNSF engines. Now, here in Kansas that's a raratiy! I looked on a map and the closest that railroad ever got was Kansas City, maybe? But not Wichita. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />8-10 years ago it was quite common to see Soo Line locmotives on CP trains, but now it's quite rare. I wish I took pictures of them back then! I think most of them have been repainted for CP by now, but this week my dad saw a train with a red and white Soo Line diesel. Soo Line rolling stock (especially center flow hoppers) is still a common sight around here.
