Yes, it did at one point. The black line through it negated that logo. At the time of this photo it was being leased out by CEFX (CIT Group/Capital Finance, Inc).
I think he's saying it only said "SOO" when the Soo owned it. It didn't say "SOO Line" until it was sold, and cancelled like a check with the black Line.
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad was known as the Soo. What other railroads were known by their nickname? I can think of the Missouri Kansas Texas, "Katy". Missouri Pacific, "Mop". Southern Pacific, "Espee". St. Louis & Southwestern, "Cotton Belt". St. Louis & San Francisco, "Frisco". New York, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Louisville Railway or the Monon. New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad or the Nickle Plate. The Pennsylvania Railroad AKA Pennsy, Chesapeake & Ohio, Chessie. Then their were those like the CB&Q that was just called the Burlington. Or the CRI&P that was known as the Rock Island. Denver & Rio Grande. Just initials like UP don't count.
New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (reporting mark NH), commonly known as The Consolidated, or simply as the New Haven.
The New York, Ontario and Western Railway (O&W), was called Old & Weary due to its financial woes and slow pace. It also was the first US Class 1 railroad to be completely abandoned in 1957.
Did they put that on the sides of cars or locomotives or use it in advertising? Not that the Mop ever did anything like that. Did the Pennsy ever use that name in any official way?
The Elgin, Joliet & Eastern was known as the "J". New York, Susquehanna & Western as simply the "Susquehanna" NYC component Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis was the "Big Four"
Is this limited to official nicknames? Because the Hannibal & St. Joseph never exactly embraced "Horrible & Slow Jolting".
I don't know if this symbol was ever used by the O&W officially. I found it on the O&W historical society site.
As opposed to the New York, Ontario & Western, a.k.a. the Old Woman. Did the MoPac ever officially call itself Mop?
QA&P = Quit arguing and push FW&D = Flat wheels and derailments D&RGW = Dirty and rotten going west or dangerous and rapidly getting worse BNSF = Been nothin since Frisco or band new santa fe or buy norfolk southern fast or been nothin so far
