Welcome to the SOO GP9 Project! Here is where I will post news and photos of the restoration of the newest back-yard nightmare--the nose/hood from a scrapped SOO Line GP9.
This project started back in 2007, when I first discovered the nose sitting in a pile of weeds and parts at a local railroad scrapper's back yard. The nose had been sitting there since the mid-1990's when it was purchased from the CP Rail, when they shut down the old SOO Shops in Shoreham, MN (Minneapolis).
At this time I have no real idea what locomotive this nose came from...It can't be that hard, can it? Well, it's not that easy, considering photos of locomotives in the mid-1990's in Shoreham, are not that easy to come across. There are certain features on the nose that narrow it down to a few possible locomotives, but I have no definitive choice right now.
Over the next few days, I will post some of the progress that has come forth to this point.
Thanks for looking!
