SOO 6241 was originally Minneapolis Northfield and Southern 41, built in 1968. She got painted into SOO and sub lettered in Lake States in 1986. After the year or so of service on Lake Sates the sub lettering was removed in 1987 and became SOO 6241. CP later sold 6241 to Helm in 2000. 6241 was one of the two SD type units to receive the “Lake States” sub lettering. The other unit was 6240, both ex MN&S SD39s.

Nice similar "big plow" comparison shot - maybe the only I've seen of a SOO and SP unit side-by-side.
