Soo Train 940 -943 Meet At Johnson Street On Shoreham Hill August 1985

Almost every tonnage train required the use of helper engines to help make the climb out of Shoreham Yard in NE Minneapolis. In this clip you will see how the Soo had "cutting off on the fly" down to a science. Pay attention to the radio scanner. I feel including this really enhance my videos. Hope you enjoy this clip. It is one of my all time favorites!
