FIRST QUARTER 2026: This issue leads off with Part One of a detailed two-part study of Soo Line GP38-2s by Martin Young. From original orders to units absorbed through Soo’s acquisition of Milwaukee Road, this comprehensive feature traces the evolution, assignments, and distinctive details of these hard-working road switchers. We also take an in-depth look at Reading Company SW1001s, including operations just prior to the launch of Conrail. All this and more in the First Quarter 2026 issue of Diesel Era!
