Soo, Milwaukee, and CP

            On September 26, 1998, Canadian Pacific staged a party at St. Paul Yard to celebrate the arrival of the first GE AC4400CW locomotives assigned to the former Soo Line/Milwaukee Road territory.  The event showcased the 81 locomotives purchased in the CP 8500-series, many of which (recently delivered) were on hand and on display.  The event also introduced the new “8-Spot” building at St. Paul where the AC4400CW locomotives were to be maintained by General Electric under warranty.  CP 8522 was displayed outside alongside Soo Line SD60M 6060 and CP MP15AC 1404, the latter just back from being rebuilt and repainted.  Also seen during the party were a pair of Soo Line GP7s, Nos. 383 and 370, and CP GP9 8270 (former Soo 2411) in fresh paint.  Down at the east end of the 8-Spot building was CP RS18u 1839, just delivered from Canada and soon to become Minnesota Commercial 82.  The party featured a food tent, a band, and tours of the 8-Spot building; the cab of CP 8525 open for tours.  It was a good time!
