One of each |
| Description: |
During the transition period where SOO was assimilating the Milwaukee, it was possible to see a mix of power. Here we have a patch painted MILW unit, and untouched MILW unit with a SOO unit trailing. In another few years, CP will absorb SOO fully, and the process will start again. This 71 car eastbound was rolling under Daytons Bluff at Hoffman Av. |
