SOO GP7 5#59 - Soo Line |
| Description: |
Close up view of the engineer window of this high nose GP7 painted in Soo Line colors by its owner, the Minnesota Transportation Museium who runs the Osceola & St Croix Valley Rwy with the reporting mark as MNTX. The toursit train run by the Museum uses the former Soo Line trackage at Osceola, WI, now owned by Canadian National. We enjoyed the trip through the fall colors down to the St Croix River and into the William O'Brien State Park in Minnesota. The vintage cars used by the tourist line are a diverse group from commuter cars to elegant diners to an RPO combo car. |

SOO GP7 #559 - Soo Line (MNTX) |
| Description: |
Close up of the high nose on the SOO GP7 loco although technically its reporting mark is actually MNTX for the owner, the Minnesota Transportation Museum. They provide the power and passenger cars for the Osceola & St Croix Valley Rwy toruist line in Wisconsin. We found the fall color trip a beautiful experience. |

SOO GP7 #559 - Soo Line (MNTX) |
| Description: |
Although wearing the Soo Line colors and marked SOO #559, it actually belongs to the Minnesota Transportation Museum in St Paul MN, who runs the Osceola & St Croix Valley Rwy. The fall color tour on the Osceola & St Croix Valley Rwy was the reason that brought us to the Osceola Wisconsin depot where this loco was parked as spare power. |
