In the early 1950s, the Soo Line faced post-war challenges of re-equipping its roster with diesels while getting the last miles from its steam locomotive fleet. Passenger service was still an important but declining segment of the business. We can’t actually return to this period, but we can do a bit of time travel with the help of three Soo Line survivors. For several years prior to 1954, Soo Line 1003, 2500, and 2719 were going about their business on the railroad at the same time. Perhaps they met along the way!
The “Soo Line Survivors” DVD has three chapters:
1003 - we document another legendary Autumn photo charter with the 2-8-2. Enjoy fall colors in rural Wisconsin along with some stunning sunset scenes.
2500 - a rare opportunity allowed us to participate in a sunny Spring photo charter on home rails in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
2719 - presenting our favorite scenes from the 4-6-2’s six year career on the North Shore Scenic Railroad including special events, regular excursions and more!
We used multiple tripod-mounted HD cameras to create this 96-minute DVD. Each locomotive has its own chapter, with minimal narration. Order your copy now! - yardgoatimages.com/product-browser/Soo-Line-Survivors-p80228235
