Westbound at Bald Eagle
Title:  Westbound at Bald Eagle
Description:  This was a lucky shot these many years later, as this is the only restored Soo Line GP30 left of 21, although a couple others survive. It is leading a train at Hwy 61 and about to cross the BNs Skally line.

Description:  I always have liked the Soos bold, bright paint scheme in comparison to so many drab, dark schemes of the day, and it looked particularly good on a GP30. The 700 is now part of the collection of the Lake Superior Transportaion Museum and has been fully restored.
