The SOO "Red" Paint List is dedicated to compiling a complete list of all SOO units painted in the final Soo Line red paint scheme applied from 1989 up until SOO was merged into CP Rail System, and began painting units into CPRS Paint.

Any red/underlined units listed have photo links. Special thanks to Scott Withrow for allowing me to link to numerous sample photos on his RailCenter web site, as well as Graham Stockfeld's Soo Line Photo Archive (if this link goes dead please advise me), and to Pierre Milot. I am looking for more sample photos to link from this page. Do you have or know of pictures on the WWW that I can link to ?? Please tell me where: mp572galt@rogers.com.
