Nice action shot of Soo Line SD60 #6038 taken by an unidentified rail fan as the loco was heading up a unit tanker train somewhere in Wisconsin.
Nice panoramic action shot of Soo Line SD60 #6038 in the lead of a unit tanker train with SOO #6057 trailing somewhere in Wisconsin. An unknown photographer caught the moment. Interesting to see the two common SOO paint schemes side by side - the red/white combination and the "candy apple red" style. SOO Line SD60 #6038 was part of a fleet of 3,800-horsepower, six-axle locomotives built by EMD in the mid-1980s, featuring the new 16-710G3A engine. These units were designed for heavy-duty freight, featuring improved reliability over the SD50. Many Soo Line SD60s were later absorbed into the Canadian Pacific (CP) fleet following their acquisition of the Soo Line, with some units later being sold to other railroads like the Indiana Railroad.
