Eastbound Canadian Pacific freight train departing Franklin Park Illinois. December 2008.

Part of the fun of railfanning on location, is still being able to find those historic color schemes and markings, from railroads that have since disappeared through mergers. The Soo Line was absorbed by the Canadian Pacific through merger in 1990. Still, there are some pre 1980's era Soo Line equipment and color schemes still rolling around in 2008.
