SOO 2552, SOO 2407 and DM&IR 117
Title:  SOO 2552, SOO 2407 and DM&IR 117
Description:  At Shoreham Yard in Minneapolis located between Northtown on the Northern Pacific and Minneapolis Jct on the Great Northern, it looks like GP7/9's are the order of the day! I don't see much in the way of dynamic brake grids either! But look a Duluth Messabi & Iron Range engine has shown up and was a rare treat in those days before anything could be found anywhere at anytime. Things were different then when most things for the most part pretty much stayed at home.
