The Soo Line Historical and Technical Society made this challenge (no prize or anything).

My co-worker showed me this a few months ago. Living here, and searching through my photos, I have seen 60% of the 62 locomotives.

I believe this is a year thing they produce.

I was going to try that a while back, but since I dont get out by the SOO that much, i decided not too. But that SD60 pic in Hoffman was taken by my friend when my uncle took Douglas and I to Hoffman. He is a CP dispatcher.

I have got 42 of them between Humboldt yard, University and the east hump. If I remember a few of them where wrecked some time ago, if I run across the info I will pass it along to all that are taking place in this "challenge"

6009 and 6030 I believe were the ones wrecked.

When was the 6009 wrecked? I have noted bondo-type stuff on the nose. I think it was always stuck doing the CP-BN Transfer.

I caught the 6030 in Rosemount several months ago, someone emailed me through RP.net and informed me it had recently been repaired.

I have a picture of 6009 taken about 3 weeks ago. Not sure if this is before the wreck your speaking of. I was actually surprised to find I have 24 Pics of the 62 listed engines.

I wish I had known about this when I worked there.

there is prolly a few hiding up in superior, and glenwood. i think they had 40's down the river at all there lil yards, but they usualy get rotated up here for work so if one was down there it would come up.

Wisconsin central what is your uncles name, the Dispatcher, just out of curiosity, and what sub does he normaly dispatch??

Dennis Holmes. Or DJH for dispatcher initials. He does the Dakota Sub, forgot what they call the sub in the twin cities, but he does that. And he sometimes does the D&H over east.

I haven't kept track, but I've probably seen all the remaining ones.
