Product Description
Between 1975 and 1992, Soo Line's aggressive marketing and operating plans, new equipment and paint schemes, and acquisitions, such as that of Milwaukee Road, marked its efforts to modernize and expand. In March 1992, however, the Soo Line passed into history, when it assumed the name of its parent and began operating as CP Rail System. This is a nostalgic collection of Soo Line photographs that includes heavy freights, terminal switchers, transfers, and more.

 great resource for modelers and railfans alike. September 10, 2000

The Soo Line Archive by Frank Jordan is a fine example of a book well suited for both modelers and fans of the Soo Line. It offers a great look into Soo Line operations pre- and post- Milwaukee merger. Not many books out today are able to offer this. As a modeler, this book provides an invaluble resorce of crisp pictures to work with. By using seldom (if ever) published pictures, it proves to be a great addition to any Soo fans collection.
 overpriced paperback November 4, 1999

I can't believe that anyone would publish a book of pictures of the beautiful Soo Line cars in BLACK AND WHITE. What a waste! I called Amazon, and they called the publisher to confirm that it wasn't a printing error. The cover is color, but all the pictures within are black & white. I was going to give it to my dad for Xmas, but I'll go take a picture of the Soo Line train myself...in color.
Excellent, crisp, sensitive color photos of the storied Soo. November 10, 1998
As one who once lived in Michigan and extensively travelled the Midwest -- upper Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota -- I've seen a solid slice of the Soo Line's operations. The essence of stations such as Trout Lake, Rhinelander, Superior, Newberry, Marquette are captured, and the wonderful ferry at St. Ignace too. These are sweet and effective scenes of a variety of trains, cabooses, stations, and yards that bring back the poignant feelings of summer (and winter too) in the upper Midwest ... a great collection, made superior because it focuses on so much more than simply the head end of passing trains. That Soo Line paint scheme was terrific: the bold "SOO" on white painted boxcars, gons, cabs, and locos...
