Volume 2 in this series provides a detailed look at the Soo Line Railroad over three generations until its purchase by the Canadian Pacific in 1990. This volume details the specific lines, cities and revenue producing industries that made up the Soo and then provides human stories with immigrant accounts and analyses. Four special sections provide the reader with an understanding of the role the railroad played in settling the northern plains as well as the settler's impact on the Soo. There is also a touching account of home life in the second story of a Soo Standard depot shared by the wife of a former depot agent while Patrick Dorin provides an essay on Soo ore trains and traffic. Illustrated throughout with over 550 photographs (18 pages in full color), maps, drawings, and vintage advertisements. 224 pages with index.
