SOO Line Railroad, recognized by its SOO reporting mark, was formed in the late 19th century to serve the upper Midwest while providing both freight and passenger service across the United States and Canada. Famous passenger trains such as the Laker and the Winnipeger continue to make SOO Line trains for sale especially popular with collectors and model railroaders focused on Midwestern railroading and cross-border rail service.
SOO locomotives, freight cars, and passenger equipment remain a favorite for layouts featuring grain traffic, northern freight routes, and diesel-era railroad operations throughout the upper Midwest. These railroad models are commonly added to model trains centered on regional freight service and classic North American railroads.
