Soo 4100 at Northtown Yard, Minneapolis
Soo 4100 and a CP MP15 are leading the BN Transfer out of
the BNSF's Northtown Yard, on their way back to Humboldt Yard. It is a short
trip, as both yards are located in northeast Minneapolis. When this photo
was taken on April 4, 1998, the 4100 was one of the few Caterpillar units,
of the 10-unit fleet, that was in active service. The ten units, 7 GP15Cs
and 3 GP30Cs, spent most of their active life switching and on transfer
runs around the Twin Cities. They were kept in great condition right up
until their retirement. No Soo CATs are running now, with most stored at
CP's Ogden Shops in Calgary.
